Description
Daring to Struggle, Daring to Win tells the fascinating true story of an individual radical organiser turned independent Chicago city council member, and her forty-year struggle for justice in Chicago.
Helen Shiller went from a radical anti-war activist in Wisconsin to a member of a collective of white allies of the Black Panther Party in Chicago, and eventually became an elected city council person who helped break the back of the racialised opposition to Harold Washington, Chicago's first Black mayor.
The book covers political themes and battles that remain relevant to this day.
Daring to Struggle, Daring to Win is a compelling, insightful, must-read for all those struggling for a better world today.
