The 1967 Gary, Indiana, mayoral election, held on November 7, saw the election of Richard G. Hatcher.
This was, along with the coinciding election in Cleveland, Ohio, the first election of an African American as mayor of an American city with a population over 100,000.[1] Hatcher would also become the first African-American mayor in the state of Indiana.[2]
