Chicago's first Day of Dignity was held at Sullivan High School in Rogers Park. The school is lovingly known as 'Refugee High.'
Chicago held its first-ever Day of Dignity Saturday to support refugees, new arrivals and migrants in need."Most of the time it's difficult for our refugee communities to get resources additional from what they receive from the government," said Dana Rainey of the Misfits Market.
"Day of Dignity is an incredible opportunity for the Chicago community to come together in support of refugees, new arrivals and migrants that are part of the fabric of our Chicago community," said Alisa Bhachu, Chicago Refugee Coalition executive director. "Sullivan High School is also lovingly called 'refugee high', so it's wonderful here but we are a very welcoming community and so many of the residents here have the experience of being an immigrant or refugee themselves," said Ald. Maria Hadden, who represents the 49th Ward. "Families are here from all walks of life.
