Latino influx tests areas tolerant roots – Covert Township, Michigan
Tagged: MichiganPosted on: February 1st, 2007“This rural township that fronts Lake Michigan in Van Buren County has been known for defying social conventions ever since it became a model of racial integration in the post-Civil War era.
The community of 3,141 elected a black man to oversee highways when it was illegal for blacks to hold office in Michigan and integrated its schools when that was also against the law.”
