In 1980, Which Person Was Presented With A Key To The City Of Detroit?
- O.J. Simpson
- Saddam Hussein
- Osama bin Laden
- Muammar Gaddafi
- Fidel Castro
Answer: Saddam Hussein! Saddam Hussein donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to a Detroit church and received a key to the city more than two decades ago, soon after he became president of Iraq. Saddam's bond with Detroit started in 1979, when the Rev. Jacob Yasso of Chaldean Sacred Heart congratulated Saddam on his presidency. In return, Yasso said, his church received $250,000. A year later, Yasso traveled with about two dozen people to Baghdad as a guest of the Iraqi government, and they were invited to Saddam's palace. Yasso said he presented Saddam with the key to the city, courtesy of then-Mayor Coleman Young.
