Harold Washington the 1st black Mayor of Chicago died 30 years ago last week. I was in Chicago at that time , & after his death I left Chicago ,for I was very distraught by his untimely death. I had never seen Chicago with as much hope as when Harold Washington was Mayor of the nations second largest city than . President Obama said the reason he came to Chicago was because of Harold Washington, he worked on Harold Washington campaign, & learned many of his tactics that helped him become a senator & than President of the United States of America. For Harold Washington was the template which Obama used to propel his political career; White Chicago hated Harold Washington in the beginning & used many of the tactics that was used to subvert President Obama for his 8 years in office. I along with many Chicagoan's loved Mayor Washington for he was a mighty Lion, who brought a level of fairness & honesty that had never been seen before as mayor of Chicago. so I could not let this week go by without acknowledging this mighty warrior , May he Rest In Peace !
