Mary Mitchell pulls another little race-baiting scab in Sunday’s Chicago Sun Times to remind whites that they are evil mean nasty haters and to pump up the Maywood reunion of the Mt. Greenwood Seven,
There’s a Mt. Greenwood Seven Eleven at 111th and Kedzie on the Northeast Side of the Street, but Mary invents the Mt. Greenwood Seven as new Civil Rights Icons. Seven black children who attended Mt. Greenwood Elementary School from February until June ( I guess) in 1968.
In 1968, I was working at Gee Lumber which was at 79th Street & Western Ave. behind Sharko’s and Quigley South ( now St. Rita of Cascia – which was at 63rd and Claremont – see?) Things do change.. I remember quite a bit from that time, but nothing about Selma in Mt. Greenwood.
Busing, as I recall, began in the 1970’s. Black kids moved about pretty freely in my neighborhood and in Mt. Greenwood. There was a farm where the Chicago Agricultural School now welcomes hundreds of black kids who take buses from all over Chicago every day. Everything changes and sometimes somethings change for the better.
Not Mary Mitchell. Mary Mitchell equates every whitey’s waking of day to Bull Connor giving the dogs a little time off the leashes. Like The Great Castrato, Jesse Jackson, Sr. the race card gets played at every hand, One Note Samba!

This is a relevant and timely post.
Mary Mitchell is always enraged at someone or something. Sometimes, it seems as if she is completely out of control. Everything that occurs is the result of a racist conspiracy or plot.
A few years ago, she was insulted after leaving a baseball game while waiting for a CTA bus or train to take her home and she escalated the incident into a major racial provocation. Although all of the events transpired after she had left Wrigley Field, the supine management of the team issued an apology to Mitchell because someone had ridiculed her within an hour of the conclusion of a baseball game.
When reading some of the inflammatory bile that is printed in "The Chicago Sun-Times" by columnists such as Mitchell and Jesse Jackson, one wonders if the Sun-Times is making an unsuccessful effort to capture readers from "The Chicago Defender."
Perhaps "The Sun-Times" is a sinking ship and we will be labeled as racists when Mitchell is given her pink slip.
