things were running. that may have helped her win the election in 1979 but did not help when it in 1983. , and i want to think from the bottom of my heart all of the chicagoans who poured out tonight. damharold washington won that contest she ran again in 87 but lost in the primary. for years in office still remembered today. chicago's first and only female mayor made her mark on some of the biggest issue still facing chicago. , she died just after 10:00 a.m. while and hospice care. >> paul, our intro describe that as briefed.

predict that he would galvanize the black vote. >> you say how tough she was in a man's world but she embraced her femininity. we see pictures of her in these fabulous hats she said i'm not cannot dress in navy suits. she said i can't do this without having to be someone else. >> there is that tough this and her. that chicago nature. she never had to beat the defendant mayor. it was made things very difficult for her. after her daughter did my show i got a card from fire men who said we to please get this to mayor byrne. we want to thank her for the effort she was trying to make. >> and young people who may not around. there is

a revitalization of navy pier. she made a footprint on the city. >> a great part of this is that they named that park. near a water tower. and the children found that she loves so much. that is the legacy that she wants to be remembered by. there were difficult times but she is gone now and is a good time to remember all of the good that people will enjoy for years. >> she did not get the recognition. it was acceptable for her to march in the gay parade. she put these issues on the map and was not afraid to take anything on as a progressive. she was the mayor we needed at that time.
