Aurora mayor spoke about recent flag raising concern

City of Aurora - (18) Facebook

Recently, Aurora Mayor John Laesch posted a Facebook message apologizing about how the city handled the Juneteenth flag raising. Earlier last month, the city had a Pride Month flag raising that was more robust. WNIJ’s Yvonne Boose talked with the mayor to find out what took place and what the community can expect going forward.

The Facebook apology can be found here.

Yvonne covers artistic, cultural, and spiritual expressions in the COVID-19 era. This could include how members of community cultural groups are finding creative and innovative ways to enrich their personal lives through these expressions individually and within the context of their larger communities. Boose is a recent graduate of the Illinois Media School and returns to journalism after a career in the corporate world.
