re: #71 Wendell Zurkowitz (slave to the waffle light)

Probably has to do with the black employment rate. How many other civic employees are black?

Not a total answer, but from Rachel Maddow’s 8/12 show:

In Ferguson, which, again, is 2/3 black, 67 percent black, there`s no
black member of the school board. There were protests last year when that school board with no black people on it decided to suspend the superintendent of schools in Ferguson who does happen to be African- American.

Whole show was great—particularly the story about the fired lieutenant in St. Louis County (Lead story)

Here’s the transcript.
