CHICAGO — The Soul Street Collective band was tearing up the Black Fire Brigade’s fundraiser on Chicago’s South Side Sunday when Mayor Lori Lightfoot walked in the door.
Dozens of Black women who’d been enjoying a cover of “In My House” by the Mary Jane Girls quickly turned their attention to Lightfoot, who slowly made her way through the tightly packed lounge, giving hugs and taking selfies with anyone who asked.
“Have you all seen that beautiful young lady running around, the boss lady of the city of Chicago?” said Terri Winston of the Black Fire Brigade as she introduced the mayor.
