I would like to honor a valuable member of the community who has passed, Ms. Abena Hogan. Ms. Hogan was born and raised in Detroit and was a proud daughter of our community.

After 20 years of service, Ms. Hogan briefly retired before she was called back into service to work for our Wayne County Clerk. Ms. Hogan took immense pride in serving the people of Wayne County, and Ms. Hogan believed deeply in the power of the people and grassroots action. She will be dearly, dearly missed.

Napoleon was well-known for his personality and his big heart, and he had a smile that would just light up a room.…”
