It's the 40th anniversary of the Glenville riots
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
On the 40th anniversary of the Glenville riots a black man running for president speaks of hope. But despair grips much of Cleveland's inner city where random shootings ended three lives in the last month. Those deaths as well as recent controversy over police shootings and this month's killing of a police officer evoke a part of our region's most troubling history.

George Forbes
George Forbes says Cleveland's business community supported Carl Stokes and hoped the nation's
first black mayor would quell racial unrest in Cleveland but deserted Stokes when he
was blamed for funds from a city program being diverted for gun purchases by black
nationalists.
George Forbes, who represented Glenville on Cleveland City Council for almost three decades,
was in his early 30s when the riots occurred. He says it taught him a valuable lesson about urban politics.
Mayor Carl Stokes' Press Conference
The morning after the Glenville riots, Mayor Carl Stokes held a press conference. Later that day he held a second press conference to introduce the black community leaders who would replace white officers on patrol in the riot area that second night of the disturbances in Glenville.
