SPONSORED: "Race, Politics and Cities: 40 Years After the Stokes Era" will be held at CSU on Thu 6/19, 4-6:30PM. In 1967, Carl Stokes became the first black Mayor of a major American city. During Stokes' first year in office, MLK Jr. and Bobby Kennedy were shot. And Cleveland, like many cities around the nation, erupted in riots. Leonard Moore, author of “Carl B. Stokes and The Rise of Black Political Power,” is the keynote speaker. He has provided analysis on ESPN, 60 Minutes, CNN, National Public Radio and more. Free and open to the public, this forum is moderated by Mansfield Frazier, Cool Cleveland contributor. Roldo Bartimole, also from Cool Cleveland, will be on the panel. Held at the Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs at CSU, 1717 Euclid Avenue. For more info go to www.urban.csuohio.edu/forum/.
