Barbara Greenspun remembers 1984: Civil-rights passion led to friendships

Hank was passionate on the subject of civil rights and worked tirelessly with leaders of the black community to insure better job opportunities, better housing and social equality.

As a result, he became closely associated with men like Dr. Charles West, Dr. James Michigan, Bob Bailey and others who were champions of civil rights.

To members of Dr. West's family, we want them to know that conditions have improved over the years because of him. There is still room for improvement and new generations have been shown the way by those early pioneers for justice.
