[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] Jackson Rushes in to Leave Chicago Divided December 06, 1987|Ben Joravsky | Ben Joravsky is the author of "Race and Politics in Chicago." . CHICAGO — It was like old times in Chicago last week. The city faced a major crisis and to the rescue rushed the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, self-styled "peacemaker." The crisis was the sudden death of Harold Washington, the city's first black mayor. Even before Washington's death was officially announced, the fragile coalition he had maintained for five years was falling apart. Jackson's mission was to keep together this coalition of black reformers and black party regulars; they had learned to quiet their differences over issues like patronage because of Washington's rock-solid support among their constituents. Yet rather than build a consensus, Jackson's intervention failed to elect his man, polarized blacks and whites and left Washington's coalition divided. To outsiders it must have seemed bizarre. Why would a national political figure interrupt a presidential campaign to entangle himself in a local morass--to drop international relations in favor of some inner city power brokering? How could a handful of black municipal officials ignore the pleas of the major black national leader? And how could one politician stir such divisive responses? http://articles.latimes.com/1987-12-06/opinion/op-26723_1_chicago-city-council [/QB][/QUOTE]
