Williams, former governor of Michigan Soapy Williams was one of the most controversial and colorful politicians in 20th-century American history.

Williams built an unrivaled political machine in Michigan, bringing organized labor, African Americans, and ethnic groups into a new coalition.

Johnson Presidential libraries, State Department records in Washington, and interviews with Williams’ widow and other members of the family.
