YOUNG, From Page 6

can mayor in 1973, Coleman Young tackled the job with what one asso­ ciate described as maturity born of unique experiences that prepared him to preside over a troubled city. He grew up under the tight rein of segregation. He found hope in the potential of the labor unions to improve living conditions for black workers, and he wound up fighting those same unions over the racism that was as prevalent there as it was on the production floor. Branded a radical because of out­ spoken advocacy of civil rights and social justice, he was blackballed by the unions and fired from job after job. He once commented that until he was elected to the state legisla­ ture in the early 1960s, he never held a job longer than two years.

ike thousands of other Detroi­ ters, Young was drafted into j the Army in World War II. ^ He became part of the now- Ifamous Tuskegee Airmen who, under the threat of court-martial, repeatedly challenged the segregat­ ed facilities on Army bases. Once back on the familiar streets of Detroit, Young picked up the steady drumbeat of outraged black veter­ ans who had risked their lives for their country only to be treated as second-class citizens when they returned home. From the street cor­ ners of Black Bottom to the numer­ ous places where he worked, “Big Red,” as Young was called, attacked social and economic injustice. “And when he talked, people listened,” said his longtime friend and union activist Dave Moore. “He was a man of the people, the downtrodden, the poor, the underprivileged. One of his main slogans was black and white unity, with whites respecting the blacks and not telling them where, when, how and what time to do something. He championed the cause of blacks to have their own opinions, and he would go to hell and back before he would accept anything less.” In 1951 Young and other local labor activists organized the National Negro Labor Council, a coalition of black and white work­ ers, to push for more jobs for work­ ing-class folks. The success of the NNLC, which eventually had chap­ ters in 35 cities from the Deep South to the Northwest, infuriated the lions of the labor establishment. Soon the NNLC’s activities caught the attention of the House Un- American Activities Committee that was beating a frenzied path across the country to ferret out the so- called communist menace. People called to testify before the commit­ tee were often branded Communists; Photo by HUGH GRANNUM (1987) Among other things, Coleman Young will be remembered for that infectious smile and twinkle in his eyes.
