CHAMPAIGN – Tracy Parsons resigned today after 13 years as head of the Champaign County Urban League, saying "the time is right."
"I've been doing this for 13 years," Parsons said this morning. "We've done a lot of good stuff, helped a lot of people. And in some ways I think I changed the climate in this community a little bit. We're going to give somebody else the reins to handle this challenge."
