Al Jazeera America published a profile of Jackson Mayor Chokwe Lumumba today, "http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2013/9/19/in-mississippi-americaasmostrevolutionarymayor.html">In Mississippi, America's most revolutionary mayor." Author Siddhartha Mitter a good amount of time in the city this summer.
Looks like a good read: “Nowadays you’ve got to call yourself a ‘change agent’ or something, or else you’ll make people scared,” Lumumba told me when I visited Jackson in August. “But I am a revolutionary.”
Mitter even managed to work in Lumumba's trademark "Alright. OK."
