Not waiting for Superman, Waiting for Huberman

[proud2BlibKansan]

In the month since Whittier Public School parents occupied a field house in their school lot, much has happened. Chicago Public Schools head Ron Huberman, who pushed to have the field house (now dubbed "La Casita") demolished to make way for a charter school development, has let it be know he would be leaving his post when Daley exits as Mayor early next year. Following mounting frustrations with fictitious "support" from their local alderman, this video documents a march from the occupied field house (turned into a library by the parents and community) to the offices of Alderman Danny Solis. Following their protest, La Casita leaders have received signals that Solis has changed his tune. On the national battlefield to defend the public sector, this important struggle in an Hispanic neighborhood in Chicago shows the working class beginning to take control in a clearly concrete way.
