London Carter Testimonial
I led the restoration of the Dunbar Hotel. It is a jewel in the crown of Central Avenue and part of the history, both good and bad, of our country. It was a hotel that allowed major black entertainers to stay because of Jim Crow laws. Today it is a beautiful place for people 55 and older to live and enjoy the architecture, history and full-service sit down restaurant, Delicious, at the Dunbar. This is my friend, the mayor of the Dunbar hotel, London Carter.
Norman Chramoff Testimonial
Norman is one of a kind. He is a friend and an activist, a founding father of the political structure in the city for the LGBTQ+ community. He was an early leader in the Stonewallorganization and has been an activist speaking up on public policy issues and community advocate for many years. He is a long time resident of Leimert Park and I am very grateful for his friendship and support. He works tirelessly on behalf of the community and loves to phone bank.
