Hats off to Roldo Bartimole for telling me about this book, called Democratizing Cleveland – The Rise and Fall of Community Organizing in Cleveland Ohio.  Bill Callahan also talks about the book, read his take on it here.

I wrote a post about this new group of politicos, in and out of office and their planned gathering at the University of Oklahoma. Well, today was the day.
