TRANSCRIPT:
JOHNSON: "Our way will bring to black residents in reclaiming ownership of our own communities. That is the spirit of Juneteenth, you all. It is about reflecting on our past. Other cultures are taught to never forget. We need to be reminded, as blacks, here in Chicago in America, remembering our past and working towards a more just future, investing in black, is not a criminal act. Sister Zakia says she need a witness, so I'm gonna say it again: Investing in black is not a criminal act."
