Chicago mayoral candidates Brandon Johnson and Paul Vallas spoke at a forum over the weekend, hosted by several African-American fraternities and organizations, including Alpha Phi Alpha, the Coalition of African American Leaders, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, and the AKARamaa Foundation.
The candidates discussed a variety of topics, including public safety, with both claiming their respective plans are best for the city.
