The rise of gay political power is part of a history of queer incorporation into municipal politics, as well as a history of building projects that leave intact the extraordinary legacy of racial apartheid, or even embed it in the built environment. The shift…of lesbian and gay activism away from the classic focus on civil liberties and freedom from police harassment…increased the visibility and power of Chicago's gay minority, but at a cost.

This book would be great in the classroom, especially to celebrate Black History Month and to help students dream and teach them that they can achieve their dreams.

pickI really enjoyed learning more about Harris and her early days in politics. It also helped me understand more of what was going on in the early 2000‘s, much of the aftermath we are still feeling.
It helped humanize her both inside and outside the political sphere and makes me even sadder about how the election went.

pickStep 2 in my newfound righteous journey: To refresh my general knowledge of American government. Conrad‘s book is nonpartisan as advertised. It goes not only through inner government workings but the topics that were big at the time it was published in 2008 (surprise! they haven‘t changed much). Still, a bit outdated.
The Great Courses are fantastic and in depth. Prof. Victor‘s course is nonpartisan and mentions Trump, so is very recent.
