Mayoral Commercials by Lynn Sweet. This tape (27
minutes) collects many of the political ads from the 1983 race for mayor of Chicago. The
ads are shown in approximately consecutive order. First we see the ads for the Democratic
primary race between Jane Byrne, Richard M. Daley, and Harold Washington, followed by ads
from the mayoral race between Harold Washington and Bernard Epton. Many of the ads are
smears, so it is interesting to see them in close succession responding to each other.
This tape is a valuable look at the politics of the time:

Collection of revealing scenes of various Chicago politicians. The film (88 minutes)
focuses mainly on mayors and mayoral candidates of the 1980s including Jane Byrne, Harold
Washington, Edward "Fast Eddie" Vrdolyak, and Thomas Hynes. In true Chicago
style, the looming presence of long-time, now late, mayor of Chicago, Richard J. Daley
makes an appearance. Includes some invaluable footage, especially of when Harold
Washington's many speeches. Particularly revealing are scenes of racial upheaval during
the time surrounding Harold Washington's election and mayorship.
