FLASHBACK: 1968: "The day after the Chicago City Council voted to rename South Park Way after the recently assassinated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., summer students at Dunbar Vocational High School couldn't wait for the city to change the signs. Some aldermen had complained that Dr. King deserved more of a tribute. That came five years later in 1973 when Illinois became the first state to honor the civil-rights leader with a holiday. The sponsor of that bill was at the time, state rep. Harold Washington, who would go on to become Chicago's first Black mayor." He spoke at my high school graduation and gave me my first city job.
Happy Birthday Dr. King.
