Many good memories here of Don Rose! I participated in many events with which he was involved. Mayor Daley shared certain unfortunate characteristics with a Recent Nation Leader (but without atom bombs at his disposal). Don Rose stood up against this and lots more!
Great read, Jon, and what a fascinating man with such a rich history. Your own personal anecdote(s) as a child in Chicago whose parents were so socially conscious and involved in the 60’s is such a unique and interesting perspective on events seared into MY memory (as a fellow youngster during those turbulent times).
In the 60s Chicago seems to have been a boiling stew of a city (race, Vietnam, corruption, etc.). How did anyone ever survive the frequent clashes? Bebop and cool jazz.
Great interview...good to hear both of your thoughts. Here is to hoping that the lessons learned from the past will somehow impact the new leaders coming up...
