(CHICAGO)  At City Hall, one of the icons of Chicago’s African-American politics – Dr. Timuel Black – is 100 years olD.

Timuel Black has seen it all in the modern era of Chicago’s infamous politics and so I asked him if he thinks it’s getting any better.

“The politics have not gotten any better, but the sharing has. Before it was concentrated primarily in Irish-Catholic hands supported by a smaller Jewish population. Very much middle-class oriented. Now that same behavior is shared across racial, ethnic and gender lines. ”

Cameron: “Do we have a long way to go to make Chicago politics honest?”

Black:” We have some work to do which is why older people like me keep going to share the past ​and look at the present and dream and fight for the future.”

Timuel Black, movin’ a little slower, but still on his game at 100.
