In 1951, Ethel’s social activism led her to run for the Grand Rapids Charter Commission, becoming one of the first two Black women to ever run for public office in the city. Coe ran again in 1955, but this time for the Board of Education. Although she lost both races, Coe paved the way for Grand Rapids women in politics and social activism.
It's another weekend of fairs and festivals. We also have movies, concerts and even a commissioning of a new aircraft carrier.
