Activists blast planned Black Bottom Saints gift to Duggan
An author s offer to recognize Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan as an honorary Black Bottom Saint has sparked backlash from residents who say he doesn t deserve it.
“We will continue to demand that Alice Randall withdraws her offer,” Detroit City Charter Commissioner Nicole Small said Monday at a gathering with about 50 others near University Prep Science and Math Elementary School. “Now she’s trying to say that oh, it’s going to be a private gift. No longer was it private when you made it on a public platform during Black History Month.”
