"...you can either help, or you can keep holding your forums every Friday and sit here until the City Club starts burning. It’s up to you. I’m not threatening you. but I’m telling you. There is work to be done. And holding forums is not even a good start." – Baxter Hill
Louis Stokes, attorney for the Cleveland Chapter of the NAACP; Baxter Hill, local chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE); John Appling, a professional boxer and head of the Hough Young Adults Advisory Council; and Gerald A. Anderson, member of the Urban League.
The ideas expressed in City Club forums are those of the speakers, and not of the City Club, Ideastream Public Media, or their sponsors.
