Orville Hubbard. The Meanest Man in Race Relations

Send us Fan MailOrville 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.
