History Meets the Present
Mayor Leon Anderson of the all-Black town of Grayson, Oklahoma speaks with riders during the inaugural Black Towns ​Motorcycle Tour September 2019.
​
Gary "Lil G" Jenkins of the platinum R&B group Silk, Arkee Hodges, founder of the Black Achievement Fund, and others listen diligently.
​
Among the mayor's first priorities is to raise capital to get the town converted from propane to natural gas, which is less expensive.
