Patrick Braxton accomplished something no Black man in his Alabama town had done in its 166-year history: he became mayor. But within weeks of his win, Braxton says he was dethroned in a secret scheme orchestrated by the former leadership.
Patrick Braxton accomplished something no Black man in his Alabama town had done in its 166-year history: he became mayor. He told CNN he ran for office in 2020 to serve the fewer than 300 residents of Newbern, to connect them to help if they didn’t have enough food or to spread information on staying healthy in the Covid pandemic. And when there were no other declared candidates, he won by default.
Another win by default Because no one had stood for town council, Braxton said he followed the town precedent and approached residents to gauge if they were willing to be appointed to serve alongside him. He told CNN he canvassed both White and Black neighbors, but only Black people agreed to work with him. And that’s when he alleges the dirty tricks really began.
