Meet Dr. C. Sugar Hampton -- Mayor of the West Side
In his prime, they called him the “Mayor of the West Side.”
That was in the 1960s when Lawndale preacher Dr. C. Sugar Hampton had the ear of Mayor Richard J. Daley, and the kind of clout that could get you out of a jam in housing court. These days, Sugar is content trying to bring “more people in church and get them saved.”
