Talk:Robert C. Henry

First?
Were there no other African American mayors of towns before Henry? The article states that he was the first African American mayor of any city, but going back to Reconstruction were there no African American mayors of towns? Badagnani 04:46, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Will check with my grandmother or mom, but I believe he was the first African American mayor of any US city. I don't know about towns, I've just always been told he was the first of any city. Morhange 05:47, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
 * There was a black mayor of Richmond, California right around the same time, and I've read both men as "first black mayor in the US" from different references.--168.250.62.225 (talk) 08:36, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
