CHICAGO - Mayor Brandon Johnson sat onstage at a cavernous Woodlawn church and shot back at the criticism that he only cares about hiring Black people with his most forceful defense yet of the representation among his top appointees. Addressing a Black audience last week, he quoted the Rev. Jesse Jackson: "Our people hire our people." Then one by one, he shouted out six of his Black deputies and a Black-owned business recently awarded an airport contract. Copyright 2025 Tribune Content Agency.
