Episode Description

Just in time for Black Doula Day, the kick off to Black Maternal Health Week, the Chicago South Side Birthing Center broke ground this week in South Chicago. The new maternal and reproductive health care center is expected to assist in over 220 births annually once it opens in late 2027. Block Club Chicago’s Atavia Reed and Francia Garcia Hernandez are here with the latest details. Plus, the state’s attorney office won’t drop a murder charge in a case advocates say is self-defense, Chicago wants more students at the library, and Spend in the Black brings thousands to 75th street.
