My wife asked me some time ago what would be the first thing I would do if elected as Gould’s mayor. My response, “Resign.” That said, as a 37-year resident of Gould, I do have some thoughts on what might help Gould get out of the massive hole it is in.

First of all, one must recognize that the massive hole we’re in is due to a long string of people with shovels. Gould has a long history of division and strife. A little-known fact is that Gould was the first school district in the United States to be forced by the U.S. Supreme Court to totally integrate its schools. Up until that time, Gould had “separate but equal” schools with the right of black families to send their children to the “white school” if they so desired. This “right” didn’t come about until the late 60‘s. That worked fine until more black families wanted to send their children to the white school than the white school had room for. When the school board refused some black families admittance to the white school because of overcrowding, a lawsuit ensued which worked its way all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court’s solution was to do away with the “separate but equal” system and force the black school and white school to totally integrate. The events that happened after that served to more deeply divide an already divided town.

I also remember how the city wards were when I first moved to Gould in 1975. Two of the wards, Wards 1 and 2, were both primarily on the west side of Highway 65, were disproportionately smaller than Ward 3, and were composed of a large white majority. Ward 3, on the other hand, was primarily on the east side of Highway 65 and was composed of many more citizens than found in Wards 1 and 2, and was predominately black. Why was it this way? The obvious answer was so that if two aldermen were elected from each ward, whites would always be able to control the city council by 4-2.

It’s always been about control. It still is.

It should have been, and it should be, about character.
