Renae Ogletree dedicated her life to fighting for others. She fought for equality in the GLBT community. She fought for equality for everyone. She fought to bring people together around issues of diversity, development, and health care. She fought for the children in the Chicago Public Schools. In the final days of her life, the community she served for so long surrounded her with love and comfort. Upon learning of her illness, President Obama wrote to Renae, "In trying times, each of us draw on the power of hope, determination, perseverance, and faith." Renae Ogletree lived her life changing the community she served through a perseverance few may ever know. Renae, we'll continue your fight.
