Social and civil justice can never be fully achieved without the faithful work of those who champion those noble causes. Cheryle R. Jackson, president and CEO of the Chicago Urban League, is one such person. As the first woman to ever serve as president in the organization’s 90-year history, Jackson understands the historic nature of her tenure. But as a longtime servant in both public and government affairs, Jackson understands that the history books will only reflect favorably on her career if she produces positive results. So Jackson continues to work diligently to improve the state of her community, fully understanding that her work will eventually speak for itself. And it has … loudly and clearly. –dewayne rogers
