The Legacy of Harold Washington
Youth "You cannot function in today's world without education. The only routes that
are left for people without educations in this society are temporary jobs, welfare, and suffering. . . . And as for adults, it is our responsibility to impress upon the young people in this city the importance and value of an education and its necessity for employment. We must warn them of the dangers of drugs, and risks of alidvoesle."scent pregnancies, while at the same time not alienating ourselves from their
Homeless "Our cities lack a sufficient amount of affordable, decent housing for low- and
moderate -income people. These are the same people who, two years ago, were working at major corporations and industries."
Education "Educational reform in this city is at the top of my agenda. It is on target and
together we will resolve our problems.... My charge to you is this: reveal the real issues, establish your objectives, plan our action method and execute it. In a sense, as parents you are the real experts, your recommendations are important and essential."
