The South Side Chapter of the Roosevelt University Alumni Association

cordially invites you to join us for

 

Remembering Harold Washington 30 Years Later:

Peter Nolan and Paul Green in Conversation

 

The year 2013 marks the 30^th anniversary of the historic rough-and-tumble election of Roosevelt University’s esteemed alumnus Harold Washington as Chicago’s first African-American mayor.

 

To mark the occasion, we’ve asked two local experts to share their recollections and insights.

 

Award-winning television journalist and former NBC 5 political reporter Peter Nolan, author of Campaign! The 1983 Election That Rocked Chicago (Amika Press), will sit down with Roosevelt’s own Paul Green, Arthur Rubloff Professor of Policy Studies and RU’s Director of the Institute for Politics, whose brand new book is The Mayors: The Chicago Political Tradition (Southern Illinois University Press). They will trade memories of Washington and that remarkable 1983 election. Bring your questions for Paul and Peter, and your own remembrances to share.
