On Principles & Values: Parents valued working hard, fighting for opportunity

Mandela's story is a uniquely American story. He was born in Milwaukee, in one of the most impoverished and incarcerated Zip codes in the state. His mom was a Milwaukee school teacher for 30 years. His dad worked 3rd shift at the General Motors plant. They were both active union members organizing for better wages and defending workers' rights. Their example showed him the importance of working hard and fighting for opportunity for everyone. Source: 2021 Wisconsin Senate campaign website MandelaBarnes.com Jul 23, 2021
