🎊 Happy Birthday to Charles S. Mott! 🎊

Born on June 2, 1875 in Newark, New Jersey, Mott would go on to become an industrialist, philanthropist, and eventual co-owner of General Motors. He served on the board of directors for GM for 60 years from 1913 until 1973 when he passed. Mott's legacy continues to have a significant impact in the Flint community to this day, as we approach the landmark Centennial which celebrates 100 years of his namesake foundation, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, launched in 1926.

Date: June 2nd, 1875
Title/Description: Charles S. Mott
