About the Event:
Harold Washington made history in 1983 when he became Chicago’s first Black mayor—forever changing American politics and inspiring the careers of many, including President Barack Obama. Punch 9 for Harold Washington is a documentary film currently in production and finalist for this year's Library of Congress Lavine / Ken Burns Prize for Film. Punch 9 explores for the first time Washington’s rise to power, asking what Chicago—a city still fighting racism and political corruption—can learn from his legacy. For this exclusive member event, join Punch 9 director Joe Winston and producers Sonya Jackson and Raymond Lambert in conversation with WBEZ’s Natalie Moore, for a behind the scenes look at the making of their documentary about this visionary Chicagoan.
This week’s programs presented with the support of Bank of America.
