Congratulations: Ann Arbor state Rep. Perry Bullard, right, presents Mayor Albert H. Wheeler with a legislative proclamation during the City Council meeting Monday night honoring Wheeler for being the first black mayor of Ann Arbor. The resolution, passed by the House and Senate, cites Wheeler for his three decades of civil rights activities in Michigan, including being the first black appointed as a full-time permanent staff member at the University and spearheading the city's adoption of a Fair Housing law, the first such law adopted in Michigan. Among the sponsors of the resolution were Bullard and Rep. Roy Smith, R-Saline.

Grace tells us about how she became involved in politics, her research process, and how her interests spurred her beyond her shy nature.
