Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones died Wednesday night at the age of 58. She was Ohio’s first African American woman elected to Congress. Tubbs Jones blazed several career trails. She also was the first African American and female to serve as Cuyahoga County Prosecutor and on the county Common Pleas bench. On our program, we’ll remember her with those who knew her and worked with her. You’re invited to join us on The Sound of Ideas®.

Former Ohio Senator C.J. Prentiss
Cleveland Municipal Judge Larry Jones
Plain Dealer columnist Connie Schultz
Congressman Steven LaTourette
Cleveland City Councilman Roosevelt Coats
