When they arrived from Europe, the Poles were seen as second class white in the primarily German city and forced to live in a specific area. They showed little resistance and came to call the area Little Polonia. It was their new found country within the United States, a safe place. It would not be until 1945, when the Poles began to feel threatened by the influx of rural Black Southerners would move to the North Side of Milwaukee. They saw this new community as thieves against their economic and social position. So the white communities enacted similar policies to the Jim Crow South, separating: schools, factories and play grounds. Although, the Polish had accepted their standing and the territory that came with it, but the Black community become restless and fought for the freedoms that they had earned long ago.

  • The Saga of a Landslide Reelection, Baby Bonds, and a Recall: Mayor Daniel W
    e.polis Volume V, Fall/Winter 2012 1 The Saga of a Landslide Reelection, Baby Bonds, and a Recall: Mayor Daniel W. Hoan 1932-1933 Scott R. Letteney e.polis Volume V, Fall/Winter 2012 2 INTRODUCTION In April 1933, rumors of an impending effort to recall the mayor of Milwaukee spread around Milwaukee City Hall.1 While the purported motivations driving the nascent attempt to unseat Mayor Daniel W. Hoan included his inability to push a change to the City tax code through the Common Council, deteriorating conditions in City Hall, and pressure from local taxpayer organizations, the real problem may have been the depths in which Milwaukee found itself during the Great Depression. According to a letter sent to him by the Fifteenth Ward Taxpayers’ Club, during the depression Mayor Hoan failed to show “any leadership that would tend to lessen the burden of the hard-pressed citizens of Milwaukee.”2 Daniel Webster Hoan was elected mayor of the City of Milwaukee in 1916 after having served as Milwaukee’s City Attorney for six years. Hoan was born in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and educated at the University of Wisconsin and the Kent College of Law. He was admitted to practice law in Wisconsin in 1907. He served as a labor attorney until he was elected Milwaukee City Attorney in 1910.3 Hoan had been elected City Attorney, as part of a veritable sweep of the election by members of the Socialist Party, with Emil Seidel at the head of the ticket. Seidel was the first of three Socialist mayors that would serve the City of Milwaukee over the next half- century.
