“They must not know we got gangsters in here,” 20th Ward Ald. Willie Cochran said to young Black activists back in the summer of 2018. At the time, Cochran and the other members of the Chicago Aldermanic Black Caucus were hosting their annual fundraiser at the Black-owned Persona Lounge in the Loop. So a group of activists, fed up with Black Caucus support of Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s $95-million cop academy in West Garfield Park, protested outside the fundraiser.

A few of the activists took their protest inside, with one screaming, “No cop academy!” 34th Ward Ald. Carrie Austin demanded he be escorted out of the building. The scene, captured on cell phone video, sparked much outrage on Twitter.

“You know what to say, Ald. Cochran,” Austin said. The crowd laughed and cheered. “If anybody else wanna protest, you better take it outside, ‘cause I guarantee you ain’t seen no gangsters like this city’s aldermen.”

She’s right.

Ten of the city’s 18 Black Caucus members – including Cochran and Austin – have been in their aldermanic seats for a decade or more. Over the last 10 years, we’ve watched the city’s Black population drop 24 percent, from more than one million to under 800,000 in 2017, according to the Chicago Reader.

We’ve also watched our Black aldermen dismiss the needs of Black Chicagoans to side with mayors Richard M. Daley and Rahm Emanuel’s agendas which, most times, disproportionately affected our depleting Black community.

For instance, a Chicago Crusader investigation found that Emanuel, in an attempt to buy their silence, donated thousands of campaign dollars to eight Black aldermen in spring 2015 before City Council approved a $5-million settlement with Laquan McDonald’s mother after former Chicago Police officer Jason Van Dyke fatally shot him 16 times.
