The first African American to win a County government office way back in 1975 was the Beautiful Mattie Chapman. She actually had become the first black person to even work in a county office when she became a clerk in the prothonotary’s office ………She was Beautiful, Smart and Shrewd……….she as an early advisor to us in forming the African American Political Roundtable……….always saying “they” are not going to let you ‘Upset the apple cart’………
