First sentence: The 1997 mayoral election turned Cleveland into a national political laboratory, by way of shifting power from corporations, banks, utilities, and real estate trusts, to poor and working people.
Description: "A Prayer for America collects presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich's essays and speeches representing his holistic worldview. It also gives us a glimpse of Kucinich's strong roots in working class Cleveland, Ohio - the district he now represents as a congressman.

It shows how his strong ethical and philosophical outlook springs from childhood struggles with poverty, the battles fought as Cleveland's youngest ever mayor, and illuminates his passionate commitment to public service, peace, human rights, workers' rights, and the environment."--Jacket.
