Community Activists Call Attention to Dozens of Missing Black Women in Chicago

As nationwide attention ratchets up around the disappearance and apparent death of a Florida woman, Father Michael Pfleger is calling attention to the dozens of Black women who either remain missing, or who have been killed, in the city of Chicago in recent years.
Pfleger, who has become well-known for his work in looking to combat gun violence in Chicago, says that the plight of those women is being largely ignored.
“The value of life depends on your race and color,” he says.
Pfleger made a social media post this week concerning the disappearances and deaths of those women, saying that while his condolences were with the family of Gabby Petito, whom authorities believe was found dead at Grand Teton National Park after going missing in late August, he says that attention needs to be paid to what is going on in the city of Chicago.
