The
men of Thapelo Institute, lead by Joseph Harrington who
manages activities of the organization, hosted a celebration
for the founder of the group, Dr. Terry Mason. Dr. Mason
has been appointed by Richard Daley, Mayor City of Chicago,
as the Commissioner of the Chicago Department of Health.
The Master of Ceremony Art Norman, NBC5 news anchor, graciously
introduced family, friends and professional acquaintances
who told stories of their relationship with Dr. Mason.
The event was described as "Black History in the Making"
which was realized by the presence of three leaders of government
from the State of Illinois, Cook County, and the City of
Chicago all of which are Black Men. The event was held at
the beacon college for health professions, Malcolm X College.
The college offers more health profession career programs
than any other institution of higher learning in the State
of Illinois.
