The Monroe News
Becoming the Fire Chief
When Manuel was a young man serving in the military, he assumed he eventually was going to pursue a job at the Ford plant in Monroe just like his father did. He never considered being a fireman because, frankly, he didn’t think it was possible for an African American man to pursue such a career. But at the urging of his friend, Bev Heck, he applied and eventually became a firefighter.
Twenty-two years later, he was promoted to chief, the first-ever African American to be a department head for the City of Monroe.
