Scott. As the first African American woman elected mayor of a major city in Michigan, Commissioner Scott reflects on her journey from the precinct level to the State Senate. Tune in to hear about Commissioner Scott's historic time in elected office, after beating a long-time incumbent mayor, and her lifelong commitment to passing impactful legislation by working with colleagues on both sides of the aisle.February is Black History Month, and we'll head back into our archives to hear a conversation from 2024 with Minnesota Commissioner Rena Moran, a proud advocate of The Crown Act. Hear from Commissioner Moran about the history and the purpose of The Crown Act, which strengthens protections against hair based discrimination for employees and students.
