"What we’ve seen is the inability of blacks to elect people from their own communities who will then give voice to their concerns...Local elections have clearly affected recent events in Ferguson. We need people in positions of leadership who are connected to the people they serve, and who will acknowledge the lived reality of people and their injuries, especially the black community in Ferguson," said Hudson.
