Barack Obama arrived in the city as Harold Washington became the first Black Mayor of ascended to power against the Democratic institutions owned by the Daley family. In Hyde Park, the epicenter of Independent Voter of Illinois politics. The man with dark skin and a white mother found fertile ground to lay the foundation to him becoming a historical figure.

Democrats haven't been this disheveled since a Republican freed the slaves. Race politics isn't stagnant. It evolves like all human behavior. The 2008 presidential election was the genesis of biracial politics. The 2024 presidential election is equally powerful in exposing the American biracial voter class flexing its nascent power.
