Weather records <\/strong>(from the National Weather Service, Chicago<\/a>)<\/p>\n 1966: <\/strong>Demonstrators marched from Chicago to Cicero to protest the treatment of Black college student\u00a0Jerome Huey<\/a>. Huey went to Cicero on May 25, 1966, to interview at a freight loading company. On his way back to the bus stop that evening, according to Tribune archives, four white teens attacked him with a baseball bat as he walked alone near 25th Street and Laramie Avenue. Huey died in a hospital four days later.<\/p>\n The National Guard has been activated to Chicago 18 times from 1877-2021. Here\u2019s a breakdown.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The marchers \u2014 about 250 in number \u2014 were showered with racial epithets, bricks, bottles and firecrackers<\/a> by an angry crowd of spectators.\u00a0Police officers and\u00a02,000 members of the National Guard<\/a>\u00a0with rifles and bayonets controlled the hostile crowd. The marchers proceeded south to 25th Street and then west to Laramie Avenue, where they held a prayer vigil on the spot Huey was attacked. His parents, Isaac and Ruth Huey, both now deceased, joined them.<\/p>\n In 1967, three of the four teens charged with murder were\u00a0convicted of voluntary manslaughter<\/a>\u00a0and sentenced to nine to 20 years in prison. Each served less than five years, public records showed.<\/p>\n 1974:\u00a0<\/strong>Ald. Frank Kuta was\u00a0convicted<\/a>\u00a0in 1974 of accepting a\u00a0$1,500 bribe<\/a>\u00a0on a zoning case and was sentenced to\u00a0six months<\/a> in prison.<\/p>\n The Dishonor Roll: Meet the public officials who helped build Illinois\u2019 culture of corruption<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n In 1981, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled that Kuta had, \u201cby clear and convincing evidence, established his rehabilitation\u201d and could get his law license back \u2014 as soon as he gave the city $1,500 for the bribe money he had extorted. He paid the city and opened a law office on the Southwest Side.<\/p>\n 1986:<\/strong> Prince Charles (now King Charles III)<\/a> started in Chicago a 12-day tour of the United States \u2014 without his wife Princess Diana<\/a> and sons. He visited Marshall Field\u2019s State Street store, Whitney Young Magnet High School and participated in a polo match at the Oak Brook Polo Club.<\/p>\n Vintage Chicago Tribune: When British royals \u2014 including King Charles \u2014 visited the Windy City<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Early in the match, a collision at the north end of the field \u2014 which was roughly nine football fields in size \u2014 left England\u2019s star player Andrew Seavill pinned beneath his horse and the prince laid out beside him.<\/p>\n An ambulance and a paramedic rushed to the scene, and the player\u2019s horse was hoisted off his leg. After a five-minute pause, both the player and the prince appeared to be OK. And a few moments later, the horse rose to a standing ovation.<\/p>\n \u201cI liked the part when he fell, the best,\u201d said Chicago-based political satirist Aaron Freeman. \u201cIt\u2019s not often you see people who won the genetic lottery embarrassing themselves in public.\u201d<\/p>\n Want more vintage Chicago?<\/p>\n Subscribe to the free\u00a0Vintage Chicago Tribune<\/a>\u00a0newsletter, join our\u00a0Chicagoland history Facebook group,<\/a> stay current with Today in Chicago History<\/a> and follow us on Instagram<\/a>\u00a0for more from Chicago\u2019s past.<\/p>\n Have an idea for Vintage Chicago Tribune?
