Daring to Struggle Daring to Win: with Helen Shiller and Laura Washington
Join Helen Shiller and Laura Washington as they discuss Shiller's new biography, Daring to Struggle Daring to Win.
————————————————————————————————
Helen Shiller went from radical anti-war activist in Wisconsin, to a member of a collective of white allies of the Black Panther Party in Chicago, to an elected city council person who helped break the back of the racialized opposition to Harold Washington, Chicago’s first Black mayor.
Shiller participated, when few others did, in the historic fight against the gentrification of a unique economically and racially mixed Chicago community on the Northside. With insight into historic community organizing and political battles in Chicago from the 1970s through 2010, this book details numerous policy fights and conflicts in Chicago during this time, illuminating recurrent political themes and battles that remain relevant to this day.
Join us for a limited-capacity in-person book launch event and discussion with Helen Shiller and Laura Washington about the struggle for justice then and now in Chicago.
Masks and proof of vaccination are required for those attending in person. For those attending in-person doors will open at 6 PM.
The event will also be livestreamed for those unable to attend in-person. Closed captioning will be available for the livestream.
