Join your host Hermene Hartman for this special report , 5- part Zoom series, Covid While Black in partnership with Robert R. McCormick Foundation. We'll be discussing mental health, talking to survivors of the corona virus, in addition to featuring black doctors & nurses, black entrepreneurs, and the much ignored last responders/deathcare workers- funeral directors. In this episode your host Hermene Hartman speaks with Pastor Marvin Hunter from Grace Memorial Baptist Church and Rev. Ira Acree from Greater St. John Bible Church. Both guests contracted Covid 19 and they will be describing their experience with the virus and how it affected their families, friends, & congregations. We wouldn't be Chicago if politics wasn't mentioned at some point. Both Pastor Hunter and Rev. Acree share their frustrations with Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Mayor Lori Lightfoot as it relates to churches being declared non-essential during the pandemic.
