- On Monday, November 20, 2023, WTTW, hosted LATINO VOICES: A WTTW News Community Conversation. The conversation focused on the history and legacy of Danny Sotomayor. WTTW’s CHICAGO STORIES: THE OUTRAGE OF DANNY SOTOMAYOR, profiles the fiery openly gay AIDS activist, political cartoonist, and organizer who used civil disobedience to wage war on city officials who marginalized the LGBTQ community and turned a blind eye to the AIDS crisis – all while fighting a losing battle with the disease himself.
WTTW News on-air reporter and Latino Voices host Joanna Hernandez moderated a virtual conversation that focused on the impact of Danny’s life and efforts to effect positive change. Hernandez was joined by panelists Alicia T. Vega, President of Alicia T. Vega Consulting; David Ernesto Munar, President & CEO of Howard Brown Health; and Julio Rodriguez, Co-founder & President of ALMA Chicago.

- Description
- They called him The Boss. Richard J. Daley, Chicago’s mayor from 1955 to 1976, came into office at a time when American cities like Chicago were losing population and industry to the suburbs in a phenomenon known as white flight. Daley’s answer was to build. He pulled together a team of city planners to create his 1958 Plan for the Central City of Chicago and he used it as the blueprint to build a modern downtown. But Daley's vision for a modern Chicago came with a cost. Between 1948 and 1963, nearly 168,000 people were displaced in the city of Chicago. Old neighborhoods disappeared and newly constructed areas faced increasing racial pressures.

The spacious plan with open green spaces was a stark departure from the tenement housing earlier lower-income urban dwellers lived in, but its ideas became distorted in the massive public housing projects built after World War II.

- Description
- Our Lady of the Angels was an extremely tight knit, largely Italian parish in a vibrant community that flourished on Chicago’s West Side. But in 1958, tragedy struck when a fire broke out in the basement at Our Lady of the Angels and tore through parts of the building, trapping students and teachers in a terrifying inferno. The blaze killed 92 children and three nuns, shook a city’s faith, and stunned Chicago — and the nation — with sorrow. Now, 65 years later, survivors tell their story.
