I met Niles when I returned to Chicago after living in the San Francisco East Bay Area for several years. As with Niles, I met numerous people who supported the advocate work I along a team of education activists had undertaken to push for improvements of neighborhood public schools. Niles was very encouraging about our work & he was quite insightful as to how to navigate the politics of the system. God bless his spirit as we continue to celebrate his ancestral community.

Wish I could've had the opportunity to met you an seen an learned from you.
May you Peacefully Rest
Love you

Niles was a good and decent man...and he was a friend of mine. Niles was always friendly, helpful and sincerely empathetic to the need of less fortunate people of all races, in our great City. I'll miss him, but I'm certainly a better person for having known him.

I met Niles Sherman during the 1980s after returning to Chicago to live; what a wonderful person to know, so extremely helpful with steering me towards people who could help me re-establish. It was indeed vintage Niles-- R.I.P. my brother.
