No look at the future of cities would be complete without a discussion of race and politics.
So we continue to explore "Our Place in the Urban Age" with a panel of national and local
experts who will look at the national context in which Carl Stokes was elected Mayor of
Cleveland and the current state of race, politics and cities, and what still needs to change in America's cities.

Keynote Address: Leonard Moore, Associate Professor and Assistant Vice-President,
Division of Diversity and Community Engagement, The University of Texas at Austin and
author of Carl B. Stokes and The Rise of Black Political Power, University of Illinois Press, (2002).

Norman Krumholz, Professor, Levin College of Urban Affairs and former Planning Director
of the City of Cleveland from 1969-1979 under Mayors Carl B. Stokes, Ralph J. Perk, and Dennis Kucinich.
