Photo by Tracy Baim BY GRETCHEN RACHEL HAMMOND At a meeting of the Chicago City Council, on May 6, Ald. Ed- ward Burke called for a vote on matters nine and 10 on the day’s agenda. Mayor Rahm Emanuel asked, “is there anyone else who would like to address this matter?” As a part of his speech, Ald. Joe Moreno asked his fellow council members to recognize some of the individuals packed into the viewing gallery above. They were given a standing ovation. Alds. Howard Brookins and Joe Moore each followed with their own declarations before Emanuel rose. “This is another step but an essential step in righting a wrong, removing a stain on the reputation of this great city and the people who make up this great city. In this action today Chicago finally will confront its past and come to terms with it and recognize when something wrong was done and be able to be strong enough to say something was wrong,” the mayor said. Many of the people Emanuel thanked for “your persistence, for never giving in or giving up and allowing the city to come face-to-face with the past” were solemnly watching. “The stain cannot be removed from the history of our city but it can be used as a lesson of what not to do and the re- sponsibility that all of us have,” Emanuel added before calling upon Burke. “Mr. President, I move the adoption of the report of the com- mittee on finance pass on items nine and 10 of the same roll call which is applied to item number one on the agenda,” Burke stated. “Carried. No objections. So ordered,” Emanuel replied quickly with a strike of the gavel. It happened so fast that there were those in the gallery who were not sure what had just taken place—that the first battle STRAIGHT UP had been officially won in a 42-year war declared in 1973 by a few members of the Chicago Police Department against the Darrell Cannon signing the wall of names Paula Abdul’s on ‘So You Think You Can Dance.’ concepts of justice, morality, racial equality, human rights and in 2012 at the opening reception for Opening the Black Box The Charge is Photo by Nick Saglimbeni/Fox 24 dignity.
