Letter To The Governor

Governor Pritzker,

Happy Black History Month? The State of Illinois does not do enough to ensure that Black people and businesses get a fair opportunity. What’s worse, the state often tries to silence those Black voices that speak out. That, in itself, is racism. A systematic process that oppresses Black people. And if that is racist, then one can only reasonably assume the State of Illinois is racist. That would mean that you Governor, whether intended or not, now head a racist institution. The truth hurts. So, fix it. Not half-heartedly, but really take the uncomfortable steps to make Black people feel like they matter. Be courageous. Be intentional. Be a Governor that isn’t looking for friends every four years, but rather an ally to the Black community who truly understands our plight. Especially, during this one short and cold month dedicated to remembering our pain, suffering, abuse, trauma, rape, murder… but also our triumph, perseverance, courage, strength, determination and hope. We spent this whole month showing you glaring issues facing Black businesses. We are asking our ally, the Governor of the State of Illinois, to please DO SOMETHING…ANYTHING…BUT ESPECIALLY…SIGN SB1608!

Show us something,
Illinois Black Business Owner
