JANUARY 1967 THE ATTORNEY FOR THE DEFENSE SIGNED DOCUMENTS ADMITTING GUILT, ON THE PART OF THE DEFENSE, TO EACH ALLEGATION. NEVERTHELESS, THE LEADERSHIP AND INSTITUTIONS OF THE INNER CITY HAVE JOINED THE DEFENSE.

BUT ESTHER'S FILING FOR PUBLIC OFFICE IS AN INDICTMENT OF THE LEADERS AND THE INSTITUTIONS OF THE INNER CITY. THE INNER CITY, INCLUDING THE 10TH COUNCIL DISTRICT, IS A DEPRESSED AREA.
