PEORIA — As Mayor Jim Ardis’ Race Relations Commission begins its work, there are some black leaders in the community who are skeptical on how much the group can accomplish.
Ardis, on Friday, said he thinks Al-Khafaji, who is a native to Iraq, is “an outstanding choice” to head up the group, even though some citizens are publicly criticizing the fact that the chairman of the commission is not black.
