Talk:Matthew Ricketts

Article could use expansion
Why was Ricketts considered a controversial speaker? Why was a Negro Fire Dept. started? What part of the city did it serve and how was it funded? It might be useful to tell more about the Masons - how many were there when he was elected? What was their role in the city?--Parkwells (talk) 22:22, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
