Re: 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...
Thank you for your correction regarding Dr. Adams' fraternal associations. Folks at home (I am from Albany) are VERY proud of him, as I am. I know this is probably TMI, but he was my Gynnie when I was in HS and college and his wife and my mom are friends.

Now of course if he could stop the siphoning of businesses and revenue from Albany to Lee County he would really be doing something!!
