This month Margo Drummond features Peter D. Thomas as our "Racinian to Remember."

She begins by writing:

"In 1886, the Wisconsin State Democratic Convention was held in Union Grove. At that gathering a 39-year-old former slave named Peter D. Thomas was nominated to serve as Racine County Coroner.
