Big news from WHA & Aspire!

We’re proud to celebrate the continued recognition of the work happening right here on Chicago’s West Side.

Morris Reed was recently featured in Austin Weekly News, highlighting the Aspire Center, the history of the former Robert Emmet Elementary School, and the importance of preserving and reinvesting in community assets.

We were also excited to welcome Chicago’s own Lil Rel Howery to the Aspire Center, where he connected with Morris Reed and Knowledge Beckom for a special podcast conversation.

The West Side is shining — and so is WHA!
