http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122299284

A resume, a photocopied business card, a list of Cook County (Minn.) sheriffs, and photocopied newspaper clippings (undated and 1978-1987, 1991) related to the life and career of a Black Cook County sheriff. The papers sketch Lyght's biography, his thoughts on being Minnesota's only African American sheriff in a county that is virtually all white, and his selection as "Law Enforcement Officer of the Year" by the Minnesota Black Public Safety Employee Association.
