On Wednesday evening, WBEZ hosted a community forum with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and other city officials at the Chicago History Museum. The event was the culmination of WBEZ’s series The First 100, features and conversations assessing the mayor’s performance and promises during his first few months in office. 

Members of the community, both local leaders and engaged local residents, gathered to facilitate a dialogue around change within the city of Chicago—how its implemented and plans for the future of the city and its residents.

A number of audience members asked questions and made comments about priorities at City Hall.

Eight Forty-Eight presented an edited version of The First 100 – Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s Early Impact on Chicago event on Friday.
