What’s on the agenda for America’s black mayors?
The 35th Annual National Conference of Black Mayors convenes today in Las Vegas. In honor of the conference, we put together our own roundtable of black mayors to talk about issues they’re facing during these tough economic times. We speak to Mayor John Marks of Tallahasse, Fla., Mayor-President Melvin ‘Kip’ Holden of Baton Rouge, La., and Mayor Sheila Dixon of Baltimore.
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
