In the 1960s, Mayor Wense Grabarek became nationally known as he led Durham, NC through a tumultuous period of desegregation. He was praised as a civil rights champion and a skilled peacemaker, but his household became a battleground as he and his wife insisted that their daughter, Lisa, make her Durham debut. Lisa tells the story of arguments and punishments that went on for months. She stood her ground. Then Wense presented her with a terrible threat, making Lisa’s debut a matter of life-and-death.
