Mural Unveiled in Honor of First Black Chicago Mayor

Last week, Harold Washington College, the Student Government Association, and the Harold Washington Centennial Celebration Committee unveiled a mural that embodies the leadership, energy and spirit of Chicago’s first Black Mayor, Harold Washington.

“I think Mayor Washington would have liked this very much. Empowering students in the name of Mayor Harold Washington has been part of Harold’s Washington College’s DNA, and for a long time now. As I lead this college and make decisions, I reflect on how Mayor Washington forged a citywide coalition that united disparate communities around a common agenda of inclusion and reform in the name of equity for all,” Harold Washington College President Daniel Lopez said in a statement.
