From the President & CEO

The Guide

Dear Member,

The Member Magazine for WTTW and WFMT Renée Crown Public Media Center 5400 North Saint Louis Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60625

As a Chicago public media organization, we are dedicated to telling local stories that enrich lives, engage communities, and inspire exploration. This month, we are excited to bring you a new season of Chicago Stories, the only weekly documentary series dedicated to uncovering the sweeping history, rich diversity, and breadth of human experience that shaped our city.

In six new episodes, you will learn about Chicago’s trailblazing first woman mayor; two “downtown disasters” – a devastating theater fire and a mysterious underground flood; the creative genius of some of the city’s advertising legends; Chicago’s Union Stockyards, which revolutionized meatpacking in America while also bringing to light labor issues and food safety; a Mexican-American parish that lost 12 young men during the Vietnam War and the disillusionment that followed; and Chicago’s role as the birthplace of gospel music through the story of its creator, Thomas A Dorsey. On the WFMT website, we’ll explore Dorsey’s life in more detail, and on wttw.com, discover the history of Chicago’s first Mexican church and its surrounding community; examine Black churches that were integral to the development of gospel music in Chicago; and trace the life and career of Tom Burrell, a pioneering Black advertising executive.

WTTW will also bring you a new season of The Great Chicago Quiz Show; join us on Thursday nights as host Geoffrey Baer puts local contestants to the test on all things Chicago, and play along on the companion website! We’ll also share heartwarming local stories in a new season of Jay’s Chicago.

This month, WFMT Presents will feature a conversation with Chicago’s Music of the Baroque music director Dame Jane Glover; a program with Angèle Dubeau, violinist and founder of the Canadian chamber orchestra La Pietà; and for Holocaust Remembrance Day, a Studs Terkel interview with Mark Ludwig that includes the Hawthorne String Quartet’s recordings of music by composers of Terezin.

Thank you for watching and listening as spring continues in Chicago, and for your membership and support.

Sincerely,

Sandra Cordova Micek President & CEO

Jane Byrne

Chicago Stories: Jane Byrne As a woman once again occupies the fifth floor of City Hall, Chicago Stories remembers the city’s first female mayor. After pulling off one of Chicago’s greatest political upsets, Jane Byrne found herself caught between the political machine that shaped her and the reformers who elected her. Driven by her vision of “One Chicago,” Byrne focused on bringing unity and pride to an increasingly divided city. While her time in office was marked by crises and controversies, the Byrne administration ushered in a new era of Chicago politics.

Jane Byrne in a mayoral candidate forum, 1979

A Q&A with Rachel Pikelny Producer of Chicago Stories: Jane Byrne In 1979, Jane Byrne became Mayor of Chicago and the first woman to lead a major U.S. city. A new Chicago Stories documentary traces Byrne’s rise from protégée of the powerful Mayor Richard J. Daley, to underdog mayoral candidate, to an at-times controversial mayor. We spoke to producer Rachel Pikelny, who discussed Byrne’s legacy and how the documentary tackles the former mayor’s tenure. Chicago Stories: Jane Byrne premieres at 8:00 pm on Friday, April 1 on WTTW.

GUIDE: What makes Jane Byrne a compelling topic for this Chicago Stories documentary?

PIKELNY: I have lived in Chicago for 20 years. A few months before she passed away, an expressway interchange was named for her, and I wondered, “Why do I know so little about such a pivotal figure in the city’s history?” In starting to dig into her story, I realized that

she was really a divisive character. She was loved by some, hated by many, and even hated by those who had loved her. A lot of those people gravitated away from her as she made decisions and allegedly turned her back on them. Then she just faded into history. So it’s a sad story, to be honest, of a woman who was instrumental in moving Chicago in a new direction. She came in at a time when there was a lot of chaos at City Hall. Mayor Richard J. Daley had just passed away unexpectedly. After that, it was a question of, do we just do more of the same, or are we going to really open up government to a new voice? And Jane Byrne came in and she was nothing like any of the other candidates.

GUIDE: Byrne began her political career with Mayor Richard J. Daley, but eventually found success by positioning herself against the machine. Why do you think her first campaign appealed to so many people?

PIKELNY: I think people, particularly in the African-American community in Chicago, were just fed up. They were not receiving the services that they deserved and they were starting to see that other neighborhoods were receiving those services. Their voices weren’t being heard.

And she was somebody who came in and said, “I’m going to do things differently.

You matter. I’m listening to you. I have a plan. I’m going to elect more people of color to leadership positions.” People were ready to hear that message, and they got behind her because of it.

GUIDE: What sorts of challenges did Byrne face running for Chicago mayor as a woman in the 1970s?

PIKELNY: There’s one line in the show that I love, and it is so true. Mayor Lori Lightfoot says, “Women, people of color are held to a different standard, and that’s still true today.” But it was even more true back then, and Byrne would do certain things that perhaps a man would do, but she would get so much more flak for it.

This was also happening at a time when television news was really becoming a

GUIDE: Many people in the documentary point to Jane Byrne’s commitment to bringing arts and culture to Chicago.

What contributions did she make to Chicago’s cultural scene?

Producer Rachel Pikelny

reality. So people not only read about what she was doing, they saw her. She was a very feminine woman, too. She had an amazing sense of style. These things shouldn’t matter. She’s a politician. She should be judged on her ideas, how she relates to people and how she manages people. But the fact that she was a woman became the headline.

GUIDE: One of the things Jane Byrne is known for is her decision to move into the Cabrini-Green housing projects. Why was that a controversial move?

PIKELNY: People felt very strongly about this. Some people said it was just a publicity stunt and that she wasn’t really helping the people who lived in that community. It was just to draw attention to herself and say that she did something big. And then there were people who patted her on the back. But she made the decision on her own. Nobody convinced her to do that.

Could she have done more to help the people living in that area? Yes, of course. But she got the media talking about it. I think that was the first thing that needed to happen. People needed to really see what was happening in that area and not have it be

PIKELNY: I was floored when I found out how much she was responsible for in the city. So many films have been shot in Chicago, and we’re used to seeing our city on the big screen. But back then, it just wasn’t happening. She brought The Blues Brothers to Chicago. She made that a huge source of revenue for the city at a time when the city was really struggling financially. Navy Pier is another thing that I just always assumed had been there forever.

But you see these images of Navy Pier around the time that she took office in 1979, and it was not a place that you would want to go spend time. She turned it into a gathering place where people from all walks of life come. Think of all the public events that we now have, like Taste of Chicago and all the music festivals. Many of those started under her tenure. She was only in office for four years, but she did so much to help put Chicago on the map.

GUIDE: What do you hope people take away from the documentary?

I hope Chicagoans realize what an impact this woman had on our city. I just have crazy respect for her. I recognize her faults. I don’t think that she was perfect by any stretch, but I think she was a pretty impressive woman. I hope that people realize that she took the city in a new direction and Chicago would not be the city that it is today if it were not for Jane Byrne.

I realize that it’s all somewhere in the gray.

It’s not all positive, it’s not all negative, and that is true of any politician. Even the most effective politicians out there still have haters. She was someone that elicited very strong feelings on both sides.

In the Spotlight

Chicago Stories: Our Soldiers, Our Lady of Guadalupe Our Lady of Guadalupe, Chicago’s first and oldest Mexican-American parish, lost 12 young men in the Vietnam War during a brutal five-year period. These young men came from a proud military heritage, and some felt they owed a debt of gratitude to America. But, as the war dragged on and antiwar protests escalated, some in this patriotic community began to question why MexicanAmericans bore a disproportionate brunt of an unpopular war.
