King's history entwined with Cleveland's
Monday, January 21, 2008

He was a friend and political supporter of Carl and Louis Stokes, and just months before King's death, he was playing a key role in making Carl Stokes the first elected black mayor of a major U.S. city. WKSU's Vivian Goodman spoke about that relationship with Susan Cash, associate curator for African-American History at the Western Reserve Historical Society.
