  1. UFO report stirs believers, skeptics

    Tribune transportation reporter
    The story last week about an unscheduled flight over O'Hare International Airport generated a universe of opinions from near and very far out. A man in Aurora said he came home from work on the same day as the O'Hare sighting, looked skyward in his...

  2. The election of Harold Washington the first black mayor of Chicago

    Other black politicians had run for the office of Chicago mayor before. In fact, even Harold Washington had. Most of those past campaigns had been quixotic, symbolic, and, in the end, futile.

    Other black politicians had run for the office of Chicago mayor before. In fact, even Harold Washington had. Most of those past campaigns had been quixotic, symbolic, and, in the end, futile. But things were different in 1983. Black community leaders and...

  3. Richard J. Daley elected

    When Cook County Democratic leaders met in December 1954 to pick a candidate for the 1955 mayoral race, they gave Mayor Martin Kennelly three minutes and 58 seconds to make his case for re-endorsement. Elected in 1947 to bring an air of respectability back to the mayor's office after the long, scandal-plagued rule of Mayor Ed Kelly, Kennelly had earned the respect of the business community and the newspapers but not of the Democratic Party. After his time was up, party leaders promptly endorsed their own chairman, Richard J. Daley.

  4. The 1919 race riots

    They were separated by a line unseen and a law unwritten: The 29th Street beach was for whites, the 25th Street beach for blacks. An invisible boundary stretched from the sand into Lake Michigan, parting the races like Moses' staff parted the Red Sea. On this stifling hot summer Sunday, Eugene Williams, a black teenager, drifted south of that line while swimming with friends. Whites picked up rocks and let fly. Some accounts say Williams was hit on the head and went under. Others say he became tired and was too afraid to come ashore. Either way, he drowned, touching off the deadliest episode of racial violence in Chicago history.

  6. Children's Museum has yet to make case for planned move

    Something essential is missing from the ongoing debate over the Chicago Children's Museum's improved but still-troubling plan to move from Navy Pier to Grant Park: a hard look at the desultory section of the park the museum covets and an expansive vision for remaking this subpar space.

  7. A MUSEUM'S SECRETS

    Metal doors are easy to miss when they're sandwiched between a stagecoach and a submarine. But through this doorway at the Museum of Science and Industry -- past "Emergency Exit" and "Authorized Personnel Only" signs -- a museum within this museum...

  8. Robert Taylor Homes public-housing project

    As a sort of welcome-wagon gift for the first family to move into the Robert Taylor Homes on this date, Mayor Richard J. Daley presented James Weston with flowers. Handing the bouquet to Weston, a glass inspector and married father of two children, Daley declared: "This is a great thing for the city. It provides decent housing for fine families." Thus was inaugurated the nation's largest public housing project, with more than 4,400 units. Within five years, the mayor said, the city hoped to eliminate most of the worst apartment buildings and replace them with new housing.

  9. President John F. Kennedy's assassination

    On this day, a Friday, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated while riding in a motorcade through Dallas. Chicago froze in horror, the moment sealed in memories people would carry for the rest of their lives. Office workers on their lunch hours when the news broke stood on the street, some too shocked to speak, some openly weeping. Crowds gathered around loudspeakers strung up in the Loop, listened to radios in hotel lobbies and watched television sets in restaurants and bars.

  11. Riots follow killing of Martin Luther King Jr.

    Before darkness fell on this day, a Friday, the plumes of smoke from the West Side already were visible to Loop office workers. In Chicago and across the nation, rioting was breaking out in response to the news that Martin Luther King Jr. had been gunned down in Memphis the day before.

  12. Chicago's Picasso sculpture

    Just after noon, Mayor Richard J. Daley pulled a cord attached to 1,200 square feet of blue-green fabric, unwrapping a gift "to the people of Chicago" from an artist who had never visited--and had shown no previous interest in--the city. The artist was Pablo Picasso, who at age 85 had dominated Western art for more than half a century. He had been approached by William E. Hartmann, senior partner of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, one of the architectural firms collaborating on Chicago's new Civic Center; Hartmann wanted a sculpture for the plaza bordered by Washington, Randolph, Dearborn and Clark Streets.
