In Memoriam Gus Savage

Today we pay tribute to our founder, former congressman, Gus Savage, who died Saturday, Oct. 31, 2015 at the age of 90.

We will eternally honor and cherish the leadership and fortitude you portrayed while establishing the Chicago Citizen Newspaper…the largest, black-owned, weekly newspaper chain in the Midwest. It is and will remain the absolute shining gem of Chicago’s south side.

We are so proud and humbled that you are at the root of our legacy. Rest in Peace dear friend and please know that…all we do is because of you.
