Wheelers Honored - About 50 people turned out Sunday to unveil a plaque renaming Summit Park for longtime Ann Arbor civil rights activists Albert and Emma Wheeler. Al Wheeler is a former mayor of Ann Arbor and an emeritus professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Michigan. Both Wheelers have been leaders in the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Huddling in the shade of trees, the crowd listened while Al Wheeler, left, talked about the history of the neighborhood surrounding the park. Two of the Wheelers' daughters, Nancy Francis and Alma Smith, were at the ceremony, along with officials such as Fred McCuiston, president of the local branch of the NAACP, and Ann Arbor Parks and Recreation Director Ron Olson. Ann Arbor City Council voted last year to rename the site.
