My work is possible because of the doors Mayor Harold Washington opened. As the City’s first Chief Equity Officer, I feel very much apart of his vision as well as his legacy of inclusion, fairness, and justice for Chicago. #HeyHarold
On April 15, 1922, Harold Washington, the first Black Mayor of this great City, was born. Today we are celebrating his life and legacy on his 100th birthday. #HeyHarold
