Our friends at the Times West Virginian recently produced a series called "Profiles." The series of stories is dubbed "Our Place, Our Time." 

 

According to the newspaper, the series of stories offers a look at people, places and organizations of Harrison, Marion, and Monongalia Counties.

 

Among the individuals listed is Bridgeport resident James Griffin. The community leader serves on multiple boards and organizations and has contributed greatly to the quality of life in not only the City of Bridgeport, but in areas well beyond the municipal borders of this particulary city. 

 

The focus of this particular piece is Griffin's efforts that he has been involved with for decades in the fight to achieve racial justice and civil rights. You can read it below.
