...Harold Washington's boisterous victory rally in Chicago's Donnelley Hall last month, his supporters held aloft a banner that read RIZZO IS NEXT. The allusion was to Philadelphia's hard-nosed former mayor Frank Rizzo, who has fought an uphill battle against his black opponent, W. Wilson Goode, the city's former managing director, for the Democratic Party's mayoral nomination on May 17.

As such this ethnic-bloc voting was progressive, not racist or regressive, widening the range of pluralistic participatory values Some one-fifth of whites in Chicago had enough decency and were mature enough regarding the pluralistic norms that define American democracy to assist Washington's electoral victory.
