The gale force entry of former state senator Nina Turner into the developing race to succeed Cleveland area Congresswoman Marcia Fudge, pending her confirmation as the next Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, knocked our plans for this column momentarily askew.
A hollowed out central city, the state’s slow population growth, and an altered political culture are diminishing the black community’s grasp on a former political stronghold.
What is the future of the 11th Congressional District? How might we shake free of our dependence on the dinosaur style of politics that serves to keep us among the poorest, least healthy, and most ineffective communities in the nation?
