A group of Black state lawmakers is calling for accountability at CPS after an exclusive NBC 5 Investigates report on a play at Carver Military Academy on the South Side depicting Latino students auctioning off Black students as slaves. They say that CPS’ response to the controversy raises more questions than answers. “I just horrified. I was frustrated,” said IL State Sen. Lakesia Collins. Collins chairs the Legislative Black Caucus and said she had an immediate, visceral reaction when she watched the video from a 2025 Black History Month assembly. #racism #cps #blackhistorymonth #blackcaucus
