By Jovanka D. Beckles

Candidate for Council Member; City of Richmond

This information is provided by the candidate
The Gary family story is a proud moment of local African American affirmation, and it is a success achieved with an amazing formula: Standing up for your rights and sticking it out, defending the principles and seeeking and receiving the support of decent people of all races and income levels. This story provides us with some good ideas on how to address the many challenges we face in Richmond and elsewhere,
