Forty years ago, Harold Washington took on the Chicago machine and won, with the help of a multiracial coalition, becoming the first Black mayor of Chicago.
This week on Unsung HIstory, we look at Washington’s rise to the 5th floor of City Hall, who helped him get there, and the struggles he faced once elected, with guest, historian Dr. Gordon Mantler.
