NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Work was temporarily halted on the Obama Presidential Center after a noose was found at the construction site, officials say.
The incident was reported by Lakeside Alliance, a conglomerate of black-owned construction firms under contract with the Obama Foundation to construct the center in Chicago’s Jackson Park.
‘We have zero tolerance for any form of bias or hate on our worksite,’ Lakeside Alliance stated.
Chicago Police confirmed they are investigating the incident. Police officers were seen carrying a plastic bag containing a rope off the grounds.
