Photos and question by Harry Kemp

Reverend Marvin G. Spence: " Not wanting to slight anyone because I consider a number of individuals to be community heroes because of the work they do. My heroes’ list includes Tyrone Dumas, Eric Vonn and various colleagues in the ministry."

Myron G. Smith: My pastor, Reverend Marvin G. Spence. He cares about his family, as well as his community. I think Pastor Spence lives what he teaches and he’s an honest man with the love of Jesus in his heart. I thank God for him."

JoAnn Hackney: "My pastor, Elder Vernon C. Crawley who has promoted the "Adopt-A-Block" program in a nine block area around our church to get the church out of our seats and into the central city neighborhood."

Michelle Logan: "(Former Milwaukee Mayor) Marvin Pratt. He was concerned about a possible school closure. My oldest son was facing a sexual allegation. I contacted Mr. Pratt and he responded in a very caring and compassionate spirit. The school overturned their decision."
