The city is still trying to recover from the riots that broke out last April after an unarmed African-American man named Timothy Thomas was shot and killed by a white police officer. Now Luken, who is white, is trying to fend off Fuller, an African American, who sees the race as a referendum on Luken's handling of the unrest. (Cincinnati, pop. 331,000, is 43% black...
