- Description:
- In 1983, W. Wilson Goode became Philadelphia's first Black Democratic nominee for mayor, winning by a small margin and receiving over 90% of the Black vote, although race was not a prominent theme in any candidate's public statements; Goode's victory resulted from a mobilization of the Black community in the form of registration campaigns and turn-out-the-vote drives which paralleled the Harold Washington race in Chicago, and he will run against two White candidates in the November general election. 4 Pages.
