He reported that unlike prior administrations, which were predominantly composed of white men, his team includes 45% Black, 25% Latin, 30% white, and 8% Asian members, making it the most diverse in Chicago&#8217;s history. Johnson argued that the inclusion of diverse leaders leads to more generous governance that benefits everyone. He specifically mentioned that key positions within his administration are held by Black individuals, focused on the interests of the Black community. The speech comes in the context of ongoing investigations into Chicago Public Schools&#8217; policies aimed at prioritizing the academic success of Black students, amidst challenges from federal initiatives that have scrutinized diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Brandon Johnson touts diverse administration, says black people run Chicago because &lsquo;we&rsquo;re most generous&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2123795\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Chicago Mayor <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/brandon-johnson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Brandon Johnson<\/a> credited his city&rsquo;s economic accomplishments to his &ldquo;diverse administration.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Johnson bragged about his administration while speaking at the Apostolic Church of God in Chicago, Illinois, on Sunday.
