Since coming to Madison in the early 2000s, Everett Mitchell, the UW-Madison director of community relations, has seen many sides to the Madison-Dane County community. Through his work at Madison-area Urban Ministry, Mitchell worked with ex-offenders and inmates housed at Oakhill as well as with their children. He also saw the other side of the community through his work with United Way of Dane County, 100 Black Men of Madison and as an assistant district attorney.
