Exchange St. in Akron, Ohio. Mayor Kilpatrick is known for rising to high political ranks and becoming the youngest mayor of Detroit, Michigan at the age of 31, serving from 2002 to 2008. Mayor Kilpatrick achieved great success and would also find himself in the midst of personal failures that would cause him to lose his seat as mayor and be sentenced to 28 years in prison. 12 hours before leaving the White House, President Donald Trump would commute Mayor Kilpatrick's sentence and allow him to leave prison after serving 7 years. While in prison, Mayor Kilpatrick rediscovered himself, his faith, and since his release, he travels the country sharing his story of undeserved redemption and second chances to audiences young and old.
