 | | The popularity of Irish dancing also has soared, thanks to such innovators as Mark Howard, founder and artistic director of the Trinity Irish Dance Company (1990), and Michael Flatley, who grew up in Little Flower parish on Chicago's South Side and trained in the Dennehy School of Irish Dance. | | | Irish women religious played a crucial role in Chicago Catholicism, staffing hundreds of parish schools in the diocese, financing academies, high schools, colleges, hospitals, and schools of nursing. | | | As Chicago became even more ethnically and racially diverse, the Irish continued to be well represented at the highest levels of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese and city government, especially the police force, fire department, and public school system. |

| | Chicago History -- Racism |
| | The Irish were dominated, like southern blacks, through violence, and lost many of the same civil rights: to vote, to serve on juries, and to marry outside their group. | | | It was a lesson that black children growing up on the South Side absorbed with their ABC's, but newly arrived blacks who wandered into the area from outside could be caught unaware, often with dire results. | | | South Side youth gangs, including the Hamburg Athletic Club, were later found to have been among the primary instigators of the racial violence. |

| | On the west side of the Taiwan Strait, Taiwan controls Kinmen (12 islands, also rendered as Chin-men, Jinmen, and Quemoy), 182 nautical miles west of Taiwan; and Matsu (10 islands, also rendered Ma-tzu), 114 nautical miles west of Taiwan. | | | The United States does not support Taiwan independence and has stated that it is opposed to any attempt by either side to unilaterally alter the status quo in the Taiwan Strait. | | | In May 1991, President Lee Teng-hui announced the termination of the Period of National Mobilization for Suppression of the Communist Rebellion, thereby abandoning the claim to govern mainland China, acknowledging that the Chinese Communist Party regime controls the mainland, and establishing the position that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are under separate rule. |

| | Aside from the domestic politicians, this year’s parade will also feature a mix of foreign dignitaries, including Irish consul general for Chicago, Charles Sheehan, and Ireland’s minister of state for foreign affairs, Dick Roche. | | | The families are usually on the east side of Western Avenue, while those drinking concentrate on the west side—where all the bars are. | | | The annual South Side Irish St. Patrick’s Day Parade’s reputation has morphed from a family-oriented event celebrating community and heritage into a mile-and-a-half- long drinking party. |

| | One Country on Each Side: A Policy out of Internal Consideration with External Effects |
| | Judging from the records of President Chen’s ruling stlye for the past two years, one of the most important guidelines of broaching policies is “to maximize the votes,” meaning that most of his efforts have been made for re-election in 2004. | | | Chen’s “one country on each side” remark can be viewed as an attempt to re-interpret the “status quo” that, hopefully, satisfies voters from the left to the middle on that spectrum. | | | Recent polls also show that from 41% to 64% of the people investigated agree “one country on each side” is a way to depict the status quo. |

| | Germans settled on the North Side, Irish on the South Side, Jews on the West Side, Bohemians and Poles on the Near Southwest Side and Near Northwest Side, and blacks in the South Side Black Belt. | | | The area was renamed Bridgeport in the 1840s, when a bridge was built across the Chicago River at Ashland Avenue, forcing barges to unload on one side and reload on the other. | | | And it was separated on all sides by imposing barriers: the Chicago River to the north, the stockyards to the south, Bubbly Creek to the west, and wide railroad tracks — and then a black ghetto — to the east. |
