| Info | Raphael Benjamin "Ben" West, Sr. was an attorney, politician, and Mayor of Nashville, Tennessee from 1951 to 1963, and State Senator from 1949 to 1951. While State Senator, he supported a change from at-large to single-member district voting to the Nashville City Council. This broadened representation on the council, enabling the African-American minority to elect candidates of their choice; women also gained seats on the Council.
