Nathan Churchill (left) and Robert Widemon are among those whose services have been volunteered to renovate the one-time horse barn at Burns Park for use by Recreation Department groups. An appropriation of $20,000 by the City Council is augmented by volunteer labor from unions and contractors and by free or reduced-price materials and supplies from merchants. Donations of cash have come from other sources.

AACHM Oral History: James Anderson, Jr.

Please take a moment to take our Living Oral History Survey and let us know what you learned.

James Anderson, Jr., was born on October 23, 1937 and lived on Miner Street where he attended Mack School. James built a career in real estate and recalls the few blocks in the Mack school area where African Americans could live at that time, and how housing has changed over the years, from segregation through today. He remembers the bond drives during WWII and some of the businesses in town. James also worked on behalf of the JCs to establish Washtenaw Community College and was a trustee for 19 years.
