Local histories, state histories and national histories, are all remembered and honored throughout our land. And while many of these histories are important and valuable to our current societal identity, there are some parts of our history that do not deserve honoring., While they should be remembered, they should be seen as a dark time in our history, and we should want to reverse the ramifications. The creation of Mitchell Park is one of those times. Most people who reside in our town today were not around in 1959 during the controversy of Mitchell Park, known at the time as the Floral Park Subdivision, but it was a very important time in our history. In early November of that year, it became known that a company called Progress Development Corporation would be building houses on the Floral Park Subdivision in Deerfield, along with a neighboring subdivision known as Pear Tree, now known as Jaycee Park. However, unlike many new houses in the rapidly growing suburb of Deerfield, Progress Development Corporation intended to sell some of these new homes to African-Americans, and integrate the town. This notion of integration was not a new one. Two years after the Little Rock Nine walked into Little Rock Central High School, schools and towns all over the country were starting to integrate. But when the prospect of integration came to Deerfield, there was push back. People were outraged with the prospect of AfricanAmerican families moving to Deerfield. They believed that their presence would drop everyone’s property values, and would stir up trouble in the community as well. After weeks of controversy, the President of the Deerfield Park District Board, James Mitchell, put the issue to its first formal vote when he proposed that the land that was about to be developed for the Floral Park and Pear Tree subdivisions be condemned and then developed as public parks, effectively preventing the integration of the town. Mr. Mitchell had not been particularly active in the anti-integration efforts previously., But now he was actively using his power to prevent integration. The referendum on the land took place on Monday, December 21, 1959, and with a 95% turnout rate, the voters of Deerfield condemned the land to become parks by more than a two to one margin. One of these parks was later named after the President of the Park Board, as James C. Mitchell Park. The naming of this park as Mitchell Park sends a clear message to a wide spread of people about the values that Deerfield still holds. Minority families who are considering moving to Deerfield may see this symbol of racism and continue to choose not move into our community, preserving the shocking lack of diversity of Deerfield, in which 94% of our population is white according to the last census. Our children, who are already negatively impacted by this lack of diversity in our community, see this symbol of the anti-integration movement and can infer that it is acceptable to honor the choices that those people made to prevent African-Americans from moving into their town simply because of the color of their skin. Instead we should be working to rid the earth, of discrimination forever. I therefore ask that this Board take the necessary actions to change the name of this park as soon as possible. We should not remove James C. Mitchell’s name from Mitchell Park with any intent of personal disrespect towards James Mitchell or his family. Mr. Mitchell’s name is simply a symbol that honors a misguided part of Deerfield’s history. We should rename the park with a more inclusive name, and honor a set of values that deserves honoring in this day and age.
