DePue: We are with Governor Edgar again, and we just got you to the position of legislative liaison for Governor Thompson. So I thought it was appropriate—and we’ve talked about Thompson quite a bit—to take a step back and have you just discuss, a little bit, his political career and how he ended up being governor; and then we’ll go into some of the specifics about the relationship that you had with Governor Thompson. Edgar: Jim Thompson had grown up in the Chicago area. I think he grew up in Oak Park— Oak Park? DePue: Oak Forest? Edgar: No, it is Oak Park, yeah.

  • 100Th Anniversary Right to Vote Essays
    One Hundred Years of Voting. One hundred years ago, women throughout this country sought to right a wrong. Half of the population of the United States had no say in the governance of this country. They sought the fundamental right to vote. And because they had the courage to defy the conventions of their day, we live in a very different world in 2020 than in 1920. The movement was not perfect, it did not include black women, who were in fact shunned from the movement. It did not correct the systemic barricades to voting that black Americans suffered. But it corrected a wrong for a large segment of the population. It was a start, it showed that it could be done. Change could happen. Some of us were inspired by these brave women, and some of us were inspired by women closer to our hearts. Since the beginning of 2020, we have been collecting “Who inspired you?” essays from the women judges of Illinois. Although we could ​ ​ not gather together to celebrate this moment in history, we wanted to share the inspiration. The document attached provides a searchable index for the essays. Each and every one is inspirational. Enjoy! Until we can gather again, be safe.
