Phi Beta Sigma Man, elected FIRST Black Mayor of Albany, GA
This is a momentous occasion, because of the racial history of Albany, GA. Albany, Georgia is the only place that Dr. King said he failed, read the book Parting the Waters in this book Dr. King talks about his time spent in Albany and the huge racial divide. WEB DuBois, talks about Albany/Dougherty County in his bookSouls of Black Folk which led to the finding of Albany State University an HBCU. I point this out to give an insight to the great significance of this proud moment. Whether he was a Sigma or not, this is a very proud moment, and because he is a Sigma Man, oh how sweet it is...
