Dr. Rosemary Robinson Jackson was a lifelong Chicagoan whose work and service strengthened the city she loved. Whether it was as a teacher or a businesswoman, Rosemary's belief in education empowered generations of students and opened the doors of opportunity for countless children in our communities. Amy and my thoughts are with her husband, Don, their two children, Rhonda and Baba, and all those who are celebrating Rosemary's life and mourning her loss.
