Day 17 of Black History Month and I’m honoring Lori Lightfoot. She is an American attorney and politician who serves as the 56th mayor of Chicago. She has served since 2019. Before becoming mayor, Lightfoot worked in private legal practice as a partner at Mayer Brown and held various government positions in the City of Chicago. Most notably, she served as president of the Chicago Police Board and chair of the Chicago Police Accountability Task Force.
Lightfoot is the first openly lesbian African-American woman to be elected mayor of a major city in the United States. Moreover, she is the second woman (after Jane Byrne), and the third African-American—after Harold Washington and Eugene Sawyer—to be mayor of Chicago.
