"Chicago is one city, we must work as one people for our common good and our common goals. I want to reach out my hand in friendship and fellowship to every living soul in this city." - Mayor Harold Washington 1983

SYNOPSIS: Harold Washington, a pioneering politician, and lawyer finds himself a reluctant candidate answering the call to become Chicago's first Black mayor. Once the nomination is accepted the storied politician doesn’t rely on the usual political stomping grounds for votes.
