4. That's all right, we gave Nelson a party in Detroit at that time

We filled up Tiger Stadium, most of the politicians at the time were there and it was great. Former Gov. Jim Blanchard was one of the first to order state government divestment and passed some very strong laws to that effect. Howard Wolpe, former congressman, was also very infuential in helping Mandela get released from prison. Motown bands played for him and it was a very special reception that Mr. Mandela received in our city.
