{{Quote|They can't get in here. We watch it. Every time we hear of a Negro moving—for instance, we had one last year—in a response quicker than to a fire. That's generally known.

'''Orville Liscum Hubbard''' (2nd April 1903 - 16th December 1982) also known as "The Dictator Of Dearborn" was mayor of Dearborn, Michigan from 1942 to 1978. Although he was generally a successful mayor, his legacy is controversial as Hubbard was one of the most outspoken pro-segregation politicians north of the Mason-Dixon Line, and has even been compared to [[Orval Faubus]].

== Segregationist views ==
When Hubbard was mayor of Dearborn, the city became known as a symbol of racial segregation, with his slogan "Keep Dearborn Clean" being widely assumed to mean "Keep Dearborn White", although this is disputed due to many of Hubbard's policies being intended to keep Dearborn clean. Slightly less ambiguously, Hubbard also led a campaign in 1948 to oppose the establishment of a low-income housing estate in case it became a "Negro slum", and told a newspaper that he favoured "complete segregation of the races" in 1956. He was also once prosecuted on suspicion of ordering a mob attack on the house of a man who sold his previous house to an African-American, although he was acquitted, and boasted that he would attempt to disturb African-Americans who moved to Dearborn in order to discourage them from living there. He also once assisted the murderers of a Black man escape justice by examining the man's bullet-ridden corpse and declaring it an open-and shut case of suicide.
