Having a Black woman as mayor — regardless of her policies — will mean something to all the women and girls of Philadelphia, particular those of color.
Supporters of Democratic candidate for mayor Cherelle Parker hold up a sign that reads #BlackWomenLeadPhilly during her watch party at Laborers 332 in Philadelphia on Tuesday, May 16, 2023.I didn’t think much about the potentially historic aspect of Philly’s mayoral campaign until I recently saw a TV ad featuring several girls of various races gazing at photos of former city mayors, including the ignominious Frank Rizzo. Then,to the post in 1691.
The reason that I jumped out of my bed and celebrated the night Parker won the Democratic primary is because a woman had finally crashed through the thick glass ceiling of Philly politics. And a Black woman at that. Historically, we have been behind-the-scenes workers in politics, urging residents to vote for the men in the top spots and taking on other supportive roles. Finally, the political machines had placed one us in a position to actually become mayor.
