Former Mayor Lelia Foley-Davis made history with her election to office while a single mother of five on welfare. Her "common sense" degree enabled her leadership skills to help put Taft, OK on the map and made the three Presidents she personally met during her lifetime pay attention.
Yet even as a woman in a top position of authority she found she had to fend off corruption and personal attacks--and from an unlikely antagonist, Redd Foxx. Her story of their encounter is filled with twists, turns, and gunfire!
During the time spent with hosts Nicole Franklin and Bryant Monteilh, Ms. Foley-Davis' story takes a poignant turn which results in public plea for assistance from this history maker who continues to champion her community.
