Talbert W. Swan II Biography
Talbert W. Swan II is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on April 24, 1965 in Springfield, United States. The successful campaign to collect signatures put the question of representation by wards on the November ballot. On Election day the majority of people who voted favored the ballot question that sought eight ward seats as well as three seats at-large. While the ballot question was approved by the majority of votes however, it was unable to get 15,000 votes, which is the minimum number needed to pass legislation. Swan representing the plaintiffs, suggested that they dismiss the suit if the city councilors are willing to respect the wishes of voters and adopt the Ward system.

Swan made national headlines in 2003 by taking issue with the comparison of the fight to legalize same-sex marriage with the civil rights struggle. He is the editor of the controversial book Closing the Closet: Testimonies of Deliverance from Homosexuality, a book that details the testimonies of 23 individuals, including Darryl L. Foster and Alan Chambers, former president of Exodus International, claiming to no longer be homosexual as a result of their religious experience. Gay activist Wayne Besen criticized the book and accused Swan of taking material from his booklet, Finally Free, stating, “I am horrified that this book pilfered ‘Finally Free’ and twisted the original idea to support ex-gay propaganda.”. Swan, responding to Besen’s criticism, noted “First, I never even heard of his work ‘Finally Free’ until I read his obviously angry critique of ‘Closing the Closet’, therefore, how could I have ‘pilfered and twisted’ something I have never read nor ever knew existed?”
Swan, who has been a long-time advocate for reforming police Swan first was brought to the attention of the nation after receiving an unwelcome phone contact made by Joseph Bradley, a Springfield, MA police officer. Bradley called via his Public Safety office of Western New England University and ridiculed the burning of churches that were black across the southern part of. Bradley made the call on on July 2nd, 1996, on the day that Swan hosted a church service in order to raise money for southern churches which had been destroyed. After verifying that the call was racist and directed in the name of Bradley, Springfield Deputy Chief of Police Daniel Spellacy apologized to Swan as well as his church as well as members of the African American community, and Mayor Michael Albano vowed that the city would not accept actions that are racially motivated. Mayor Albano declared that the message made to Swan “borders on crisis” and announced the creation of a community-based coalition to tackle the racial tensions.
Bishop Swan was the lead plaintiff in a federal lawsuit filed against the town in Springfield, MA seeking to declare the at-large representation system inconstitutional on claim that it diminished the vote that were cast by African Americans, Latinos, and other communities of ethnicity. The suit sought to change the at-large vote of the city council into one that includes Ward representatives. The suit demanded an injunction to stop the current voting system. In describing Springfield’s city council as an “bastion of privilege that systematically excludes residents from Springfield’s poor and non-white neighborhoods,” the Boston Globe brought national attention on Swan’s attempts to reform the voting system with an article that featured Swan standing in the front to his Church.
In January 1998 Mayor Michael Albano again filed legislation with the city council to change to a ward system but it twice rejected the proposal. Swan then contacted the U.S. Department of Justice who assigned an investigator to consider if voting rights laws were being violated.

Swan urged District Attorney Mark G. Mastroianni called to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the incident, “to ensure that proper police procedures were employed and that the investigation will not be compromised.” Swan argued the need for independent investigators in any cases involving a shooting by a police office. He noted that historically, the office of District Attorney has not been an effective instrument for insuring transparency. Swan has called for police accountability and the implementation of civilian police oversight. Calling police departments where civilian review boards only serve in an advisory capacity “a joke,” Swan has urged for boards with statutory authority. He has called for cruiser cameras and recorders to provide additional accountability. Swan was critical of an arbitration ruling in 2014 that continued to block the use of body cameras in certain Massachusetts cities. Noting that video cameras in cruisers promote officer safety and public accountability, Swan said those cities were “a little behind the times in terms of the advancement of this technology.”
