Cease Fire! Cease Fire!: Councilman Chuck, A Hero(in) Addiction - Paperback

Richardson, Chuck: - Chuck Richardson is a talented writer, artist, and speaker; however, he is best known as a true public servant to the residents of the City of Richmond where he served nineteen years on City Council. After returning from the Vietnam War with two Purple Hearts, he was elected among the historic first Black majority (5-4) Richmond City Council in 1977, and continues to be an outspoken voice of logic, justice, and humanity. In his spare time, he enjoys serving as a mentor to current or aspiring elected officials, playing golf, writing, sculpting, and, most importantly, spending time with his friends and family. He has seven siblings, two children, six grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and his Pomeranian. He was married for thirty-six years to his middle-school sweetheart, Phyllis Johnson Richardson, who departed in 2006. Mr. Richardson still lives in the West End of Richmond, Virginia, in the very same district that he served for nearly twenty years on the street named Chuck Richardson Avenue.
