THE VIEW OF US
BY HEATHER REID
hen I was in France in
the 90s, a waiter asked
where I was from. I told
him, "Chicago." He nodded and smiled knowingly. "Chicago! Jazz and Michael Jordan, right?"
It was an association I found humorous and even inspiring.
My father told me that was better than the old days when a mention of Chicago would be followed by a 'finger gun' and an exclamation of "Al Capone!" instead of a musical style and a professional athlete.
Even in the post-Trump United States, what are we known for now? Just like the good old days: America is a gun.
