"When he dared suggest that an improved Cobo Center would create more good-paying jobs for union workers, Conyers reminded him, 'Those workers look like you; they don't look like me.'
Desperate, he invoked President Barack Obama's message of unity and was angrily warned, 'Don't yousay his name here.'
Juxtapose the place and the faces and imagine a white Livonia City Council treating a black union representative with such overt racial hostility. The Justice Department would swoop down like a hawk, and the Rev. Al Sharpton would clog Five Mile Road with protesters."
