Pride Protest promotes community focus

The Reclaim Pride March kept community members in the spotlight, especially Black and trans people, to embrace “Pride Without Prejudice.”

Protesters raise fists during a protest on the streets of Lake View on Sunday, June 28, 2020, to raise awareness of killings and discrimination toward Black trans lives.

Residents rally with LGBTQ activists for a “community-driven march” Sunday in Lake View. In light of the COVID-19-related cancellation of Chicago’s annual Pride Parade, which Sunday’s event organizers criticized as “commercialized,” The Reclaim Pride March focused on community members, especially Black and trans people, to embrace “Pride Without Prejudice” at the march billed as a “protest, not a party.” Organizers say the event is dedicated to highlighting “issues of racism, police violence, and the obscene amount of money spent on militarized police, and a military which polices the world.”

Chicago Cubs' broadcaster Harry Caray sings "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" during the seventh inning stretch at Chicago's Wrigley Field in 1989.

Columnists

Why did Harry Caray always say ‘Holy Cow?’ It could be linked to a 1930s flying bovine. No bull!

In 1930, a 15-year-old Harry Caray was living in St. Louis when the city hosted an aircraft exhibition honoring aviator Charles Lindbergh. “The ‘first ever’ cow to fly in an airplane was introduced at the exhibition,” said Grant DePorter, Harry Caray restaurants manager. “She became the most famous cow in the world at the time and is still listed among the most famous bovines along with Mrs. O’Leary’s cow and ‘Elsie the cow.’”
