Race talks focus on changes




By Robert Anglen
The Cincinnati Enquirer

        The first challenge was finding common ground for race relations in Cincinnati.

        Wednesday night it was about breaking new ground.

        The third installment of a televised town meeting about race relations, Common Ground, broadcast Wednesday on WCET Channel 48 and WKRC Channel 12, came with a sense of urgency about making changes.

        “What happened is we came together,” said Joyce Kinley, a 55-year-old employment manager. “Now we are coming together to come up with solutions and an action plan.”

        The broadcast was set up to prompt discussions at dozens of so-called “watch parties” in businesses, schools, homes and churches where people met to talk about racial issues.

        “Everyone is created equal,” said Ms. Kinley, who held a “watch party” at St. Joseph Church in the West End, where about 30 people were scheduled to attend. “Nobody should be treated differently because of the color of their skin.”

        Common Ground is part of a joint effort of local media called the Cincinnati Media Collaborative, which includes The Cincinnati Enquirer, that came out of the April riots.

        The broadcast Wednesday was broken into three areas of discussion: Racial profiling, the recent not-guilty verdicts for three officers charged in the deaths of two black men and whether or not talking helps.
