Episode 3: The Eddies' War, Part 1

In the 1980s, two aldermen named Ed - one now in prison for fraud, one facing federal corruption charges - ground the city to a halt rather than take orders from the first black mayor. Featuring former Cook County Clerk David Orr, who served as vice mayor of Chicago under Harold Washington and interim mayor after Washington's death. Listen from the 9th floor of the Harold Washington Library Center (after COVID, of course). Part 2 will be posted Wednesday, March 25.
