Our nation's first elected Black governor, L. Douglas Wilder, returned to public service in 2005 as the first popularly elected mayor of Richmond, Virginia, in sixty years. Despite his landslide election, voters may have had little idea what they were getting themselves into, as many were ill-prepared for Wilder's strong style of leadership. He had remarkable success in reducing crime, cutting government spending, and boosting economic vitality, but Wilder's relationship with City Council and the School Board-and the disagreements that ensued from both sides-tarnished his record as mayor. Author and former press secretary to the mayor, Linwood Norman, skillfully recounts the turmoil of Richmond's transition to the "strong mayor" model of local government during what was a memorable chapter in Richmond's rich political history that is still deliberated today, more than fifteen years after Wilder's charismatic tenure concluded.
