It’s a “first woman” thing. First female mayor of Chicago. Came just before the “first black” mayor of Chicago, Harold Washington. So, probably the blacks got something named for Washington and now the feminists want something named for Byrne. That’s how “group identity” politics work.

I always thought her main accomplishment was being mayor while the “Blues Brothers” was filmed there.

The Chicago library was renamed to honor Harold Washington.

I can't stand it when a politician is honored as being ‘first’ based on gender or race. Were it not for the voters they'd just be a woman/black/Asian/Indian running for office. If anyone is to be recognized, it should be the voters.
