River Forest Approves Partnership With Dominican to Promote Racial Justice

The Village of River Forest has approved a mutually beneficial partnership with Dominican University to assist the village in creating a community committed to racial and social justice. The partnership will build on the work of the university's Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation initiative.
