Abstract:

John T. Minges was elected mayor of Rocky Mount in 1964 and is retiring this year after serving five terms. He is the single individual most responsible for ushering the city of 40,000 into the Age of the New South. Minges discusses his tenure as mayor, his role in turning a city from a \"one-crop town\" into a city and how other cities might achieve the same results.
