A proud veteran, former law enforcement official and dedicated public servant, Larry faithfully served the needs and concerns of fellow citizens throughout his life. As the City liaison to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered communities, he played an invaluable role in fostering cooperation, tolerance and understanding. As a pioneering State Representative, Larry was a strong and effective voice for his constituents and inspired us all with his selfless dedication to helping those in need. I send my condolences to the family and friends of Larry and hope you find comfort in his memory and the love he shared with you. His enthusiastic leadership and vision will be deeply missed, but his legacy will live on in the communities and causes to which he dedicated himself so faithfully. Sincerely, Richard M. Daley Mayor General Assembly State of Illinois To the Family and Friends of Larry McKeon, As the Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives, I was honored to have served with State Representative Larry McKeon and to call him my friend. While it is true that Larry will be recorded in the annals of Illinois history as the first openly gay, HIV-positive lawmaker to serve in the General Assembly—a remarkable and important distinction, and the fact that may be most remembered—we should take care to never forget that he was also an exemplary human being and public servant.

  • Annual Report 2005
    ANNUAL REPORT 2005 CROSSROADS F U N D change, not charity Four decades later I am still uncomfortable with the credit given to me for starting the bus “ boycott. I would like [people] to know I was not the only person involved. I was just one of many who fought for freedom… As I look back on those days, it’s just like a dream. The only thing that bothered me was that we waited so long to make this protest “ and to let it be known wherever we go that all of us should be free and equal and have all opportunities that others should have. Rosa Parks WE DEDICATE THIS ANNUAL REPORT TO ROSA PARKS. In school we learned Rosa Parks was too tired to give up her seat to a white rider, that her long day working as a seamstress left her too exhausted to move, that weariness is what motivated her defiance of the law in segregated Montgomery, Alabama, 1955. Our schoolbooks obscured the real story, the real Rosa Parks. Ms. Parks was an evolving community activist. She served as Secretary of the Montgomery NAACP from 1943 to 1957 and attended the Highlander Folk School, an education center for workers’ rights and racial equality in Tennessee only six months before she sat on that particular bus. She was not the first black bus rider to have been arrested in Montgomery for refusing to move. Rather, she became central to a campaign organized by black activists, including herself, to create fundamental change on the local level, change that would have a catalytic effect on the civil rights movement in our country.

  • Chicago's City Council's Increasing Independence
    Chicago's City Council's Increasing Independence Chicago City Council Report May 7, 2003 – November 15, 2006 Authored By: Dick Simpson and Tom Kelly University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science December 27, 2006 1 In our earlier study of the Chicago City Council, from May 7, 2003 until December 7, 2005, we highlighted the Council’s newly found independence. In this last year, from December 15, 2005 to November 15, 2006, there has been increasing independence in city council voting. During the last eleven months there have been 20 divided role call votes, approximately two per month. The average aldermanic support for the mayor on these key divided votes has decreased slightly from 84% to 83%. More importantly, the mayor lost the “Foie Gras Ban” and the more critical “Big Box” ordinance, which for the first time since he was elected in 1989, forced him to use his mayoral veto. His father, Richard J. Daley, did not have to use the mayoral veto during his 22 years in office. On the other hand, Mayor Harold Washington used his veto powers frequently during his first four-year term. This Mayor Daley’s near total control of the previously rubber stamp city council has been weakened by the continuing patronage and corruption scandals. He has faced growing opposition at the grassroots, including labor unions, community groups, and organizing in the minority communities by previous and current mayoral candidates Jesse Jackson Jr., Luis Gutierrez, Dorothy Brown, and Bill "Dock" Walls. Five major issues have dominated the city council in the last year: (1) foie gras ban in restaurants, (2) aldermanic pay, (3) minimum wage requirements for large retailers (“Big Box Ordinance”), (4) a requirement for hotels to inform guests of a hotel workers’ strike, and (5) the downtown parking garage deal.
