As friends and family of the late Mayor Al McWilliams prepare to honor his memory at Sunday service at Shiloh Baptist Church, I am reminded that the proposal for a public memorial in Al's name was removed by Council President Gibson from the Council's business agenda and has not been heard of since.
This proposal was driven by the expressed intent of the Council in appointing a committee to bring back a proposal to the governing body.
The committee did what it was asked to do.
Council President Gibson had another thought.
"There is not the kind of precedent anywhere for what they’re looking for." -- Council President Harold Gibson, as cited in the Plaintalker.
What is it that there is no precedent for?
Here are a selection of city-designated memorials and public namings.
This does not include those done by the Board of Education or Union County.

The politics of plainfield is responsible for the city's demise and the reason people are moving out of the city in droves.They can't get together for anything, even if it is something positive like naming something in Al Mc Williams honor.
A STATUE!
