Over the weekend United African Organization hosted the 6th Annual Chicago Summit on African Immigrants and Refugees, and Community Resource Fair. By all accounts, the Summit was a great success! We had well over 200 participants from a cross-section of the African community as well as allies and supporters in attendance. We were very happy to be joined at the Summit by Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, State Representatives Kimberly du Buclet and Ken Dunkin, and Alderman Pat Dowell.
Here is the first batch of picture highlights from the Summit. More to follow!
The UAO is a dynamic coalition of African national associations that promotes social and economic justice, civic participation, and empowerment of African immigrants and refugees in Illinois.
