2021 winner of Edited Works category: New Jersey Studies Academic AllianceIn 1970, Kenneth Gibson was elected as Newark, New Jerseys first AfricanAmerican mayor, a position he held for an impressive sixteen years. Yet even as Gibson served as a trailblazer for black politicians, he presided over a troubled time in the citys history, as Newarks industries declined and its crime and unemployment rates soared.This book offers a balanced assessment of Gibsons leadership and his legacy, from the perspectives of the people most deeply immersed in 1970s and 1980s Newark politics: city employees, politicians, activists, journalists, educators, and even fellow bigcity mayors like David Dinkins. The contributors include many of Gibsons harshest critics, as well as some of his closest supporters, friends, and family membersculminating in an exclusive interview with Gibson himself, reflecting on his time in office.Together, these accounts provide readers with a compelling inside look at a city in crisis, a city that had been rocked by riots three years before Gibson took office and one that Harpers magazine named Americas worst city at the start of his second term. At its heart, it raises a question that is still relevant today: how should we evaluate a leader who faced major structural and economic challenges, but never delivered all the hope and change he promised voters?
