This spring, Ald. Hamilton joined with Alds. Coggs and Kovac to recognize the efforts of Andre Lee Ellis and Margaret Rozga’s work on March On Milwaukee: A Memoir of the Open Housing Protests, a play commemorating the efforts of Ald. Vel Phillips and civic leader Father James Groppi. The pair was instrumental in leading and inspiring residents in Milwaukee to demand fair housing laws for the city more than 40 years ago.
Ald. Hamilton joined Common Council President Willie L. Hines, Jr., Ald. Nik Kovac (District 3), Ald. Michael Murphy (District 10), Ald. Milele Coggs (District 6) and State Senator Spencer Coggs as they celebrated former Alderwoman Vel Phillips and the anniversary of the Fair Housing legislation for Milwaukee.
During the news conference honoring the play, students from Jared C. Bruce Academy honored the participants of the open housing marches with a balloon release and a pledge to work on changing Milwaukee in a positive way.
