You must be very brave to have any event downtown Chicago with all of the crime. I would LOVE TO COME OUT AT SEE THIS. But let’s be REAL, it is not worth the risk, do you have a guarantee that there will be enough police protection for a “Black” event? Just sayn’

Hi Colette, there have been events downtown in Millennium Park without incident all Summer long. I have attended many of them and would encourage you to go if you want. It starts in the afternoon so I would spend at least a few hours before the evening. I can’t guarantee anything but I will probably be there as well and am not worried at all.
