Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot marked the two-year anniversary of her inauguration by only giving one-on-one interviews with Black journalists. The mayor, making the announcement on Wednesday, said she's been stunned by the “overwhelmingly” white reporters in the city. “I ran to break up the status quo that was failing so many,” Lightfoot tweeted. “That isn’t just in City Hall. It’s a shame that in 2021, the City Hall press corps is overwhelmingly White in a city where more than half of the city identifies as Black, Latino, AAPI or Native American.” I ran to break up the status quo that was failing so many. That isn't just in City Hall. It's a shame that in 2021, the City Hall press corps is overwhelmingly White in a city where more than half of the city identifies as Black, Latino, AAPI or Native American. — Mayor Lori Lightfoot (@chicagosmayor) May 19, 2021
