“If we want to solve the problems plaguing this country, Cleveland is the place to start. We are facing the greatest challenges with a tenacity worthy of our Rust Belt history. This is the lab. But we have to look outward from the debate stage, to those on the margins. The promise of our city — and of the country writ large — lies with those who thrive here in the face of generations of racism, discrimination, and inequality. The truth is, we have been center stage all along.”
