Help Newbern Alabama and its 1st Black Mayor
Patrick Braxton accomplished something no other black resident of Newbern had ever accomplished since the city's founding in 1854; he was duly elected mayor of the city.
However, the minority white residents of the city, long accustomed to exercising total control over the city government refuses to accept this outcome.
Activist LaQuenna Lewis, who lost her house to a fire (cause unknown) and received vile hate mail, continues to serve the community often with Mayor Braxton's help.
