I am not sure if I have blogged about this before, but I so remember my mother making me polish my shoes so we could attend Harold Washington's funeral. I remember standing in line at the funeral for the viewing of the body. I have so many memories.
wow, you went to Harold Washington's funeral??? what was it like? He was a great progressive mayor of Chicago, right? I know because I visited Chicago once and went to a break-away Catholic church named after him. When did he die? How old were you? Do you remember much about him?
He died in 87, I was six at the time. I remember a lot about Harold Washington. What I remember from his funeral was the long line that waited to view his body. It was quite sombre.
