Fresh Faces in Ft. Worth

A while back, I blogged about the Shifting Black Political Scene in Dallas.  And as I mentioned then, Ft. Worth has already seen young leaders step to the forefront in the area Civic Service.  The Dallas Weekly highlights some of the new faces of Ft. Worth Politics in this week's edition.  Take a look at the article written by Andrea Conley, which focuses on Donavan Wheatfall, 30 year-old City Councilman, and 34 year-old Councilwoman Kathleen Hicks.

The Weekly also has an insightful look at the current conditions of New Orleans, in a piece written by Dallas Municipal Judge C. Victor Lander.  Judge Lander spent 3 days in New Orleans as part of a volunteer group that helped clean out areas of New Orleans' 9th Ward.
