Miller Leads Fight for First Black Housing Manager
Public housing debate centers on Thomas Wesley Miller the first black project manager for the majority minority David Moore Heights residents. The Housing Authority appeals to the State Civil Service Commission with a Middletown meeting set for the week of November 16 while the black community pushes Senator Jacob Javits on the matter. Miller is praised by tenants for his understanding of project problems and minority residents see a needed bridge to services.
