More than two dozen black elected officials from the City of St. Louis met this morning at the Gateway Classic Foundation to discuss plans for greater organization and cooperation.
The meeting, organized by Congressman Lacy Clay, Alderman Greg Carter and Committeeman Arthur “Chink” Washington, was an attempt to revive the defunct Council of Black Elected Officials which hasn’t met in years.
Sources say the meeting lasted nearly two hours and ended with a pledge to meet again soon — perhaps in early December — and possibly elect officers for the organization at a later time.
