YPSILANTI, Mich. – Protesters gathered on Monday night at Ypsilanti City Hall as well as Mayor Beth Bashert’s home following comments the mayor made at a recent council meeting.
Last week, during a vote on the reappointment of Ka’Ron Gaines to a commission that advises the council on eliminating prejudice and discrimination, Mayor Bashert said, “Since I will be crucified if I vote against any Black person on any commission, I’m going to vote ‘yes.’”
