Lessons from Cincinnati's 2001 Race Riots | National Catholic Reporter

Lessons from Cincinnati's 2001 Race Riots | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Suprisingly good analysis from what is usually a too conservative to be stomached magazine.  The question is, when did the 24 hour news coverage of the Cincinnati riots stop?  Also, I wonder where the Ferguson looters were from (probably not Ferguson) while the Cincinnati looters were likely from Over the Rhine but most likely did not loot there - so those looted most likely pressed for a quick curvew.  The main problem in Ferguson is low black voter turnout, leading to white people governing a majority black suburb.  That should change and when it does, the rest will change too.  Ferguson needs its own Marion Barry or Harold Washington.  It also needs the cameras to turn off.
