The 2005 Edition of Black Mayors In America™ joins the Who’s Who family of publications that feature the outstanding achievements of African Americans. The first of its kind, Black Mayors In America™ is a historical overview of current African-American mayors who govern throughout the United States. Definitely a keepsake, the publication features rich historical content about mayoral trailblazers such as former mayors Carl Stokes of Cleveland, Maynard Jackson of Atlanta, Coleman Young of Detroit, Harold Washington of Chicago, and David Dinkins of New York, to name a few. Commissioned by Columbus, Ohio’s first African-American mayor, the Honorable Michael B. Coleman, this inaugural edition of Black Mayors In America is a wonderful resource for students of all ages, researchers, and libraries across the United States. States Coleman, “The election of hundreds of African Americans as city mayors comes only after generations of struggle, and it is a credit to the great ideas that founded America that our nation has continued to march towards its destiny as the greatest, most diverse, most inclusive and most dynamic society in history.” Vanessa R. Williams, executive director of the National Conference of Black Mayors, Inc. describes the Black Mayors In America™ as follows, “This publication is both powerful and refreshing as we celebrate the leadership and integrity of some of the nation’s finest leaders, who continue to make invaluable contributions not only to their individual communities, but as examples to communities across this nation.” ISBN: 0-9763069-4-8 |
