Councilman Chuck (as he likes to be referred to) was the youngest (at 28) of the five black candidates in Richmond, Virginia who were elected to the first black majority City Council in 1977. In the former capital of the Confederacy, Chuck’s articulate and outspoken fight for Blacks, Gays, Muslims -and all poor people, ruffled more than the feathers of Richmond’s white conservative population. As their main antagonist, he kept them irate with his courage and conviction. Virtues consistent with his heroic, decorated Marine service in Vietnam. But there was a dangerous battle that remained secret for years. Yet even as it surfaced, he remained beloved and reelected time and again for two decades. Learn the truth about the legend!
This is not just another political memoir, it’s Councilman Chuck!
