I was bornin 1906on the shores ofLake Michigan, Indiana. I was a steel town. They called me the Magic City, the Cityof the Century.But I was oneof the mostsegregatedplaces in America. In 1968, I saw here the first elected US black mayor. Then, something called the “white flight” andI becamea blackcity.Today they say that I am a ghost town. But I am still alive, and my name isGary.
