Brave Americans at the Voting Booth

It was November 1975. I was between semesters at the University of Michigan and was back home to work on the Flint Mayoral elections with my mother. It was the first time a black man was running for mayor in Flint, Michigan. He was popular in the community as a champion of civil rights and fair housing. It was a turbulent time leading up to the election.

In tribute to this story, please get involved in your own local, state, and national elections!
