About This Forum
In 1967, when Carl Stokes became the first black Mayor of a major American city, Cleveland was still a top-10 city, with a population of more than 750,000 – down from it’s peak of close to 1 million in 1950 but nearly 300,000 more than today. At that time, about 35% of Cleveland’s population was black. Nearly one in five whites voted for Stokes.
