Today 2,000 people rest forgotten in graves that go unnoticed by
all who pass; they are located in two cemeteries that were in use
from 1888 to 1973. No signs or postings identify the property as a cemetery or sacred
ground—but a group of mental health
activists are determined to change that. NAMI is the lead agency in this advocacy effort.

The Mayor’s Commission on Minority Health was first established under Mayor Carty Finkbeiner in 1999. It was formed to take a look at health disparities between minorities and whites. NAMI serves as voice for mental health on the commission.
We are pleased to announce the newly formed Toledo/Lucas County Commission on Disabilities! (formerly the Mayor's Commission on Disabilities)
