In February 2017, the Charlottesville City Council had voted to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee from a public park, and Unite the Right members demonstrated against that decision on August 12. Counter- demonstrators marched through Charlottesville in opposition to the beliefs of Unite the Right. One participant was accused of driving a car into a crowd and killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer. The country was horrified. A national discussion on the use of Confederate symbols and monuments was already in progress after Dylann Roof murdered nine black church members at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in Charleston, South Carolina, on June 17, 2015. Photos of Roof posing with the Confederate flag were spread across the internet.

In this sense, it may truly be called a Foundation for Living — with the ultimate aim of developing greater understanding among men. “We recognize that our obligation to fellow men does not stop at the boundaries of the community. In an even larger sense, every man is in partnership with the rest of the human race in the eternal conquest which we call civilization.” harles Stewart Mott (1875-1973), who established this Foundation in 1926, was deeply concerned, from Chis earliest years in Flint, with the welfare of his adopted community.

Soon after he had become one of the dry's leading industrialists. this General Motors pioneer found a practical and successful way to express his interest. He served two years as mayor (1912-13) during a period when the swiftly growing city was beset with municipal problems, with 40,000 people sharing facilities adequate for 10,000. As a private citizen, he provided a building for Hurley Hospital, started a medical and dental clinic for children, helped to establish (he YMCA and the Boy Scouts, Nine years after the Foundation was incorporated for philanthro- pic, charitable and educational purposes, it became a major factor in the life of Flint through organized schoolground recreational activities that developed into the nationwide community school/community education pro- gram. From this start, the Foundation's major concern has been the well-being of the community: the individual, the family, the neighborhood, the systems of government. This interest has continued to find expression in Flint and also has taken us far beyond our home city. Since no one has all the answers to what makes a community work, we support a variety of approaches. This report deals with the avenues that we explored in 1978 while mindful of the founder's motto, "Let us be known by our deeds," and mindful also of the words he once added to that motto: ". and not by our monev."
