Orville Hubbard was the mayor of Dearborn for 38 years. He was brilliant, creative, passionate, dedicated, popular. He was also a mean demagogue, a racist, a bully.
This reports the time I went with a group of students to interview the mayor. All of his qualities were there on display. Especially his racism.
This interview was just before he had a debilitating stroke.
Even if you are not from Dearborn, this will be of interest to you.
