‘We are all part of the same fabric’
On a Saturday morning last April, Dr. Courtney Coke, his wife and their two daughters headed to Trinity Episcopal Church in Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood to help distribute groceries. He noticed something about his fellow volunteers. They were a mix of races and ages, all gathered there in the middle of a pandemic, to help a primarily African American community.
“It was very reaffirming,” said Dr. Coke, a radiation oncologist at Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin, Ill. “It showed what we could, and should, be. It’s very clear to me that when we start to isolate ourselves, we lose sight of the power of diversity and we become weaker as a nation.”
