Friday, April 15, would have been Harold Washington's 100th birthday, and centennial celebrations continue this week. More than 30 years after his death, Chicago's first Black mayor is still lauded as the leader who rocked the Democratic machine that had reigned supreme at City Hall. In addition to galvanizing Black voters in 1983, he built a coalition of Latinx, LGBTQ, and progressive white Chicagoans. Journalist Laura Washington (no relation) worked in Mayor Washington's office. She tells Jacoby what made the former mayor so magnetic, unifying, and special. We also look ahead as candidates, including incumbent Lori Lightfoot, gear up for another mayoral campaign to see what Washington's legacy can tell us about today.

This is a podcast interview with Rev. Craig B. Mousin, founder and former Director of the Midwest Immigrant Rights Center and an Adjunct Faculty member at DePaul University's College of Law and The Grace School of Applied Diplomacy. The podcast celebrates the thirty-sixth anniversary of former Mayor Harold Washington's Executive Order 85-1 that prohibited city agencies, including the police, from cooperating with the enforcement activities of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. After the Chicago City Council enacted an ordinance sharing Mayor Washington's goals twelve years ago, the City Council recently added new amendments to Chicago's Welcoming City Ordinance, signed by Mayor Lori Lightfoot on February 23, 2021. The podcast commends the activism of the Chicago Immigration Working Group for its efforts to build a truly welcoming city. To that end, that Group reminded all that “to be a true welcoming city, Chicago must start to divest from criminalization, begin to invest in our communities, and ensure true police accountability.” (press release celebrating the new amendments which includes the list of the diverse groups that constitute the Chicago Immigration Working Group): www.icirr.org/News/Welcoming-Cit…remains-to-be-doneFor more information on Chicago's response to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 and Mayor Harold Washington's issuance of his Executive Order 85-1, see “A Clear View from the Prairie: Harold Washington and the People of Illinois Respond to Federal Encroachment of Human Rights,” 29 S.

Bruce Allen recalls an instance when his dad coached the Washington Redskins that demonstrates football's impact on Our Town~ ". . .the one thing my dad was real proud of, and Mayor Washington was proud of, when we beat Dallas on that New Year's Eve game, in the NFC Championship game, it was the only day, New Year's Day, New Year's Eve, that had not one crime registered in Washington D.C., not one crime." Bruce Allen, President, Washington Redskins and Andy Ockershausen, host of Our TownAndy Ockershausen: Andy Ockershausen. This is Our Town. And we're a special broadcast today and a special opportunity for me to talk to the people that are important in our life. Particularly with the most sterling franchise in national football, the Washington Redskins. The president of the Washington Redskins, Bruce Allen. And Bruce, I go back so far with you, but fortunately, it was your life, not mine. Because I was there when you started more or less. But, the Redskins are important to Our Town, obviously. It's the most important franchise in the world to me. But you brought so much back to Our Town and for that we're so grateful. Bruce Allen: Well, Andy, thank you. I don't think the Allen family can thank Washington enough for the thrills that we've had growing up, and the Redskins have benefited from the greatest fan base in this nation. Andy Ockershausen: And the greatest management now that you're back. We were so impressed that you came back and got a hold of this franchise and the situation, and you rejoined the broadcast to WMAL, which is my heart and soul. But that was so great for everybody, Bruce. People can now hear their favorite team. Bruce Allen: Well, a radio program ought to have an audience, right? It really felt like coming home. I've heard the advertisements, but WMAL is part of our great history and we're proud to be back. Andy Ockershausen: Oh, boy. Well, I don't wanna talk football. I wanna talk ... Your family was so special to the community. Your mom, and I knew your grandmother and grandfather and sat with them at some football games. That was special because I don't think they ever really understood what was going on, but they were delightful. Bruce Allen: No, every- Andy Ockershausen: Your grandfather was in the wine business. Bruce Allen on Family History Bruce Allen: He was in the wine business and none of us drink wine in the family, which is interesting, but special people. I've said it any time I can. I've had the great- Andy Ockershausen: They lived in Africa, in Tunisia, right? Bruce Allen: Tunisia and Paris. Andy Ockershausen: That's right. I know they lived on the mainland also. Bruce Allen: But I've had the greatest role models in our family to live by, and I can't thank the people enough. Andy Ockershausen: Very prolific. I know he went through a terrible time during the war. He told us some of the stories and so forth when I heard this from your mom. But Bruce, thinking about your dad who was so ... He's so tied up in life and football, how he ever ... What he'd do? He chased your mother all over the world more or less to marry him, right? He went to Tunisia or France or someplace to beg her to get married. Bruce Allen: Well, it was a cute story. She was visiting friends in America, and my dad was a head coach at Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa. And why someone from Paris, France on a tour of the United States would visit Sioux City, Iowa, I don't know, but I'm very happy that that happened and the tour bus went through there. Dad was also in charge of the plays, the drama plays on campus, and she- Andy Ockershausen: A very small college, right? Bruce Allen - His Mom and Dad's love story between Sioux City, Iowa to Tunis, Tunisia Bruce Allen: Small college. Morningside College, very small college. More like a W&L in this area. But the lights went out at the show and my mom, my future mom, was in the front row with the tour group,

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 5th study session on Leanita McClain's posthumously published A Foot In Each World. McClain was a brilliant representation of the importance of black journalists. She had articles published in the Chicago Tribune and The Washington Post. She continuously used her platform to investigate how Racism impacted black people. She succumbed to suicide in May of 1984 at the age of 32. Her suicide note reveals the degree to which White Supremacy assaulted her mental health. She wrote: "Do not try to pull me back into this world. I will never live long enough to see my people free anyway." A Foot In Each World is an assembly of her poetry and essays that was edited by her former husband and journalist Clarence Page. Studying her work chronologically offers insight on her evolving views on Racism as well as her personal turmoil. It seems that her fear of being rejected or vilified by other black people was a constant source of anguish. She also seemed to harbor hopes and heartache over a few "Good Whites." Last week we reviewed her essays that capture the energy and angst following Harold Washington's victory as the first black mayor of Chicago. McClain documents how the "Vrdolyack 29" and Whites in general declared war on Washington and aimed to thwart all of his political objectives. In an effort to be "neutral," "objective," McClain pointed out how Washington's behavior was not always fitting of the mayor's office - similar to her remarks on Jesse Jackson's fitness for the White House. McClain also seem conflicted about allegations that the White dominated press practiced Racism in it's coverage of Mayor Washington and black Chicagoans in general. It seems she thought of herself as a representative for both parties. We also discovered during last's week's reading that McClain has a couple White great-grandparents. #BlackMentalHealth INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p
