Wing Makes Historic Run as Mississippi Delta Mayor
Wing, a 42 year old Chinese American, serves as mayor of Sledge, Mississippi, a town with 1,440 Chinese residents and three Chinese families. He campaigned amid local worries over pollution, sewage, cost overruns, crime, and public services, and won against a white opponent.
