Pritzker signed a sweeping criminal justice bill into law today, moving Illinois closer to ending cash bail and requiring police officers to wear body cameras moves that critics say will hurt public safety. But the Democratic governor said the sweeping bill moves Illinois a step closer to “true safety, true fairness and true justice.” The criminal justice bill was crafted by the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus.

Flowers longest-serving African American in General Assembly history Grace Barbic and Sarah Mansur Capitol News Illinois Feb. 19, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail Rep. Mary Flowers, accompanied on the floor of the Bank of Springfield Center by her granddaughter at the beginning of the 102nd General Assembly in January, is the longest-serving Black lawmaker in the history of the Illinois General Assembly. SPRINGFIELD During the past three and half decades, Rep. Mary Flowers who in January became the longest-serving African American lawmaker in the Illinois General Assembly’s history has fought to pass health care reform and advocate for groups marginalized by systemic racism. It’s a fighting spirit the 69-year-old lawmaker inherited from her mother, who worked in a factory and other odd jobs to provide for her seven children, and one that she honed while following in the footsteps of Black legislative leaders in Illinois who preceded her.
