"With the passing of Henry English, the City of Chicago has lost one of our most iconic advocates for change. As President and CEO of the Black United Fund of Illinois, Henry made it his mission to use the power of philanthropy to build stronger communities and open countless doors of opportunity for more Chicagoans. Henry's impact was large, his legacy will be everlasting, and he will be deeply missed by our entire city. On behalf of the City of Chicago, I express my deepest sympathies to Henry's family and countless friends during this difficult time."
