Council Candidate
Pleads Against
Divided City
A disservice is done to Detroit
when people speak of "separate
communities," Blanche Parent
Wise, candidate'
for the Common
Council declared
this week. She
said:
"Citizens
of Detroit should
consider them-
selves just that,
and not s e p a-
r a ted into the
Black Com-
munity or the Mrs. Wise
White Community. The leaders of
either group do their city a dis-
service when they divide them-
selves by race."
Mrs. Wise urged closer relation-
ships between the Common Council
and the board of education in an
effort to solve the aggravated prob-
; lems of Detroit schools.
