This handsome book captures in words and pictures the powerful emotions that circled around one man in Chicago in the early 1980s: Harold Washington. More than one hundred pictures, from candid shots on the campaign trail to triumphant public appearances, give readers a window onto a man who won over an entire city. Washingtons mayoral win represented a faltering of the previously allpowerful Chicago Machine, and his campaign was a part of a larger civil rights crusade that forged unity in the black community in Chicago.Antonio Dickey and Marc PoKempner were there with Washington throughout 198287, Dickey as his campaign and personal photographer and PoKempner on assignment for the New York Times, People, and Time, capturing the force of his personality and the inspiration he brought to Chicago. Their photographs have become the definitive documentation of the Harold years and were featured in the Chicago Historical Societys 20032004 exhibit Harold Washington: The Man and the Movement. They were there for his underdog rise, his win, his first term, and his untimely death just seven months into his second term. The year 2007 marks the twentieth anniversary of Washingtons death, and this loving tribute in words and pictures will keep his message alive for future generations.
