We need more about Richardson Dilworth, maybe the most critically important mayor of the 20th Century.--DThomsen8 (talk) 16:02, 11 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Also, wasn't there the remark that he was the best governor that Pennsylvania never had? Carlm0404 (talk) 20:53, 21 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

I am new to the concept of content creation on here, but the search for more information on my grandfather Isaiah Webster Crippins, Esq has lead me here. Apparently Not only was Richardson Dilworth a great mayor and govenor, but he was a trail blazer. As educated as my grandfather was, it appears Richardson Dilworth helped my grandfather quite a bit. I am guessing they knew each other from yale and or service in the military. But I am really wondering if anyone knows more. I think his support of my grandfather is something beautiful that could also be shared, from his obituary it seems my grandfather helped him run for mayor. It seems its because of Richardson Dilworth that my grandfather, a black man and activist from the south, took the bar exam and later went on to become Deputy State Attorney General. oddly enough I am able to find plenty of information on my grandfathers closest associates, but its as if history somehow wiped him out. He went after big cases of corruption which is probably why it seems as though they seemed to erase him, and integrating schools, I just wish I could find out more for myself and my father. anyhow if anyone has any info it would mean so much if it were shared. ^[1] ^[2] SallyWalks (talk) 20:06, 14 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

No mention of scandals!?

How is it that this article makes no mention of the myriad scandals that rocked city hall during Dilworth's term? The Philadelphia Inquirer literally had a daily handy guide to scandals on its top page. (My own father, attorney William P. Thorn, was knee deep in one of the biggest scandals, involving payola in contracts for the elevated train line. Just Google "Eli G. Travis" and dive in. I'm not saying Dilworth himself did anything wrong, but plenty of wrongs came to light during his tenure, and plenty of heads rolled. --Matt Thorn (talk) 06:18, 4 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
