"My" Dr. Conrad Worrill by Tenille Jackson

For the sake of brevity, Dr. Conrad Worrill was a scholar and an activist! Google him and search his hashtag - #DrConradWorrill. But in my world, Dr. Worrill was the man who didn't mind telling me all about myself when I didn't answer the phone (or return the actual phone call), the man that would educate you on the history of wherever you were from or planned on going, and one of the few cool older people who I genuinely enjoyed helping transition into the digital world! The day we went to breakfast at Peach's so I could see his brand new smart phone and (watch him check all the spam coming to his email) will ALWAYS be one of my favorite moments! And yes, that moment is on Instagram! My brother and friend Eileen Rhodes introduced me to Dr. Conrad Worrill a little over 8 years ago. I had the honor of working with him on quite a variety of difference projects including but most definitely not limited to renaming 31st Street Beach after Dr. Margaret Burroughs, his retirement celebration, the annual Track & Field Banquet, and opening up Peach's Restaurant. His "job" on the team at Rome's Joy Companies with Chef Cliff Rome was to provide us with video content for social postings, reinterview whoever we hired, share a louder than normal story from Booth 26 or 27 so diners could get a bit of history from time to time, and encourage our entire staff to get their college degree. Most recently, as of last year and the beginning of this year, I could always count on him to be somewhere in my digital space CONSISTENTLY reminding me via phone, text , Facebook AND email why it was so important for IL Supreme Court Justice P. Scott Neville, Jr. be elected to the bench! I will miss him. I will also take every minute and time spent listening and learning from him, and apply it to my life and the mandatory work required to rebuild our communities. I'm grateful for being forever connected to him through my relationship with one of his daughters, Dr. Femi Worrill Skanes. Dr. Skanes - I admire your strength and ability to selflessly share your dad with the world! I'm grateful for the memories, photos, videos and time spent getting to know and most importantly learn as much as possible from Dr. Conrad Worrill. If you too have a great memory, resolution or good old fashioned photo - upload it Dr. Femi Worrill Skanes via the button below. #DrConradWorrill

Here's What We Know...

What we have here is a scandal of epic proportions that is being ignored. Based on the emails contained here's what we know: - 15th Ward Alderman Ray Lopez informed the Mayor’s office about “gang members protecting their hoods.” - Mayor’s staff acknowledges Mayor’s knowledge, Police Superintendent, and Deputy were aware. - Deputy Mayor of Public Safety and Mayor’s Chief of Staff are copied on emails, including them as well. - Deputy Mayor acknowledges use of “street outreach groups” were used to keep “neighborhood stores safe” but it “spiraled in a negative direction.” - 22nd Ward Alderman mike Rodriguez acknowledged to Anita Padilla on Fox 32 that those “street outreach groups” were in fact gangs. - The “street outreach organizations expanded the store protection to targeting Blacks, that led to the shooting of a Black Man and a variety o other incidents captured on social media through the week. THE RESULT: The exacerbation of long standing tensions between Black People and Latinos exploding into racial violence on South and West Sides. THE REMEDY: HIRE a Latino security company based out of Pilsen to “secure the Black Community!” WAKE UP...  #mazesaid
