		Dorothy Tillman: Well, I think that we are very elated…we’re glad that Chicago has taken a leading role…in May of 2000, we were the first city, or first governmental body to ever hold a hearing on slavery, and that was very good; that was a giant step.

		When Alderman Dorothy Tillman proposed an ordinance to begin hearings on reparations for the descendents of enslaved Africans, critics dismissed it as just another eccentric gesture by the voluble city legislator.
		Tillman's ordinance was the product of serious research and resembles similar measures that have passed in the cities of Detroit, Dallas, Cleveland and Washington, D.C. What's more, it's part of an unprecedented national movement to push the issue of reparations to the front burner of U.S. policy discussion.

		Alderman Dorothy Tillman of the 3rd Ward is apparently very exercised over the fact that Lehman, Durr and Co. [as the dry goods firm was then known] owned between one and five slaves… one hundred and fifty years ago - before the Civil War.
		Alderman Tillman has already dismissed the abject prostration of Lehman Brothers as “playing with us” and is surely holding out for the number of ‘apologies’ to number around five million, what the ‘reparations’ movement extorted out of Bank of America a few years back.
		In the end, it isn’t history that’s important to Dorothy Tillman, Al Sharpton or whoever picks up the mantle of chest-beater primus for the reparations lobby tomorrow.
