On Friday, October 16th, history was made ✨
On this day, attendees witnessed the unveiling of the honorary street sign in Al Raby’s name at 6300 S Cottage Grove Ave! Such an amazing man and legacy!
“Al Raby’s life reminds us that the fight for justice can begin close to home, in our schools and in our neighborhoods. As a Chicago Public Schools teacher who saw inequity firsthand, Albert Anderson Raby chose to organize and went on to help shape the civil rights movement and the future of our city. He led the Coordinating Council of Community Organizations and helped organize one of the largest civil rights demonstrations in the country against segregation in Chicago Public Schools, later returning to Chicago to manage the historic 1983 mayoral campaign of Harold Washington, Chicago’s first Black mayor.” - Mayor Brandon Johnson, City of Chicago
I Congratulations to the The Al Raby Foundation and the Raby Family for this amazing remembrance of a dynamic and powerful leader!
So honored to capture these amazing moments!!
