Carl B. Stokes and the rise of Black political power

by

"As the first elected black mayor of a major U.S. city, Cleveland's Carl B. Stokes embodied the transformation of the civil rights movement from a vehicle of protest to one of black political power.".

"In this political biography, Leonard N. Moore examines the convictions and alliances that brought Stokes to power.

Impelled by the problems plaguing Cleveland's ghettos in the decades following World War II, Stokes and other Clevelanders questioned how the sit-ins and marches of the civil rights movement could correct the pervasive employment discrimination, police brutality, substandard housing, and de facto school segregation that African Americans in the country's northern urban centers viewed as evidence of their oppression."--BOOK JACKET.
