A message from Kathy Wray Coleman, the publisher and editor of Cleveland Urban News.Com
|
A journalist of 23 year who trained at the Call and Post Newspaper in Cleveland, Ohio from 1993-2010, and a former public school biology teacher, Coleman has experience as an investigative journalist. Her articles have exposed racism against Black administrators, teachers and students in the Cleveland Municipal School District in the late 1990's, to housing discrimination in Shaker Hts, and among a host of other matters of public concern, the malicious prosecutions of Blacks in the common pleas and municipal courts of Cuyahoga County. She has written about the unconstitutionality of Ohio's school funding formula to the detriment of Blacks and poor children. And she covered the 2008 Democratic primary and general presidential election for the Call and Post, including a one-one-one interview with now U.S. President Barack Obama.
Coleman also leads the Imperial Women, a greater Cleveland community activist group founded around the unprecedented murders of 11 Black women on Imperial Avenue on the city's majority Black east side by since convicted serial killer Anthony Sowell. The group's mission is to push for public policy changes around violence against women at the local, state and national levels and to advocate for women, Black women in particular, but across racial and ethic lines.
