The Dilemma of Progressive Agendas and Community Development: Ward Politics in Chicago under Harold Washington. Fasenfest, D. 1989. abstract bibtex Starting in the late 1960s, the nonwhite urban poor in the US began to voice their grievances against the rich white establishment, joining in grass roots movements to challenge the white political machines that determined their occupational \& socioeconomic fate. Denver, Colo, \& San Antonio, Tex, eventually elected Hispanic mayors, \& several metropolises, including Los Angeles, Calif, \& Chicago, Ill, put black mayors in office. Examined here is how black mayoral candidate Harold Washington created a coalition of progressive whites, Latinos, \& blacks to defeat the old Democratic Party line in the primaries \& to be elected mayor of Chicago. Once in office, however, Washington still faced political \& economic roadblocks that made change toward greater racial equity difficult to achieve. Entrenched political \& social structures must undergo fundamental changes for true racial/ethnic egalitarianism to be attained \& maintained.
