In 'Elusive Victory,' the Equal Rights Amendment fight grinds to a halt in Illinois

The Equal Rights Amendment enshrines equal protection under the law regardless of sex. Or, it would have, if it was ratified. Illinois became a battleground state in the fight to get the ill-fated amendment through Congress in the 1970s and '80s. Historian and author Mark DePue sat down with Local Edition to discuss his new book chronicling the era, "Elusive Victory: The Equal Rights Amendment Fight in Illinois."

He remembers as a child going to fetch groceries for his grandmother from Jewel-Osco on Ash Street, the one on the east side, not downtown. That was decades ago though, and the 50-year-old said he’s seen big box stores leave over the years.

I used to work in grocery stores when I was younger, so it was exciting
