In 1983, Harold Washington became Chicago’s first black mayor. Washington’s emergence as a political leader was no fluke, but rather, a direct result of the city’s racial tensions and the black community’s struggle for political power and representation.

I’ve teamed up with the Chicago Reader & Danielle Scruggs to create this multimedia story centering the legacy of mayor Harold Washington and the political climate in 1983 featuring photographs from the Sun-Times archive intercut with excerpts from Chicago Politics: A Theatre of Power (1987) a Super-8mm film by Bill Stamets archived at MediaBurn.org

I rarely get to see moving pictures of black ppl from this early of an era in just everyday life. It’s so wild because my mind is telling me to associate these images with now but they’re from over 70 yrs ago
