“I’m grateful to have such dynamic star entertainers such as Syleena Johnson, King George, Kenyotta Kenchris, Kemistry, Pastor Derail Smith, and The Cosmopolitan Warriors, as well as other performers coming to Chicago to bring joy, laughter, and peace to the thousands expected in attendance.

We are truly ENGLEWOOD PROUD,” says Alderwoman Stephanie Coleman of the 16th District.
