The Increasingly Complicated Trials of Tracie Hunter
God, politics, race, and the judge everybody talks about but nobody knows.
Back from the Dead
The duo behind The Requiem Project use personal loss to bring the Emery Theatre back to life.
Salvaging Bones
David Hebert was a lot of things: the dreadlocked maker of burritos; a punk rocker; a womanizing, tatted-up former Jesus freak with a kind heart and a wild streak. What he wasn’t was a guy you’d expect to find dead at the end of a police standoff.
Jerry Springer: The Cincinnati-ization of Jerry Springer
I came to Cincinnati in 1969. I’d just passed the bar in Ohio and the firm was Frost & Jacobs. When Bobby died [he’d been working on Robert F. Kennedy’s presidential campaign] they said, “Whenever you’re ready to practice law we’d like to have you.”Nikki Giovanni: Growing Up in Lincoln Heights
I first lived in Wyoming; we were renting there. Then we bought a home in Lincoln Heights on Jackson Street and we moved there for a long time, and then we bought a house on Congress Street. Lincoln Heights to me was a lovely place. When I was growing up it was a working-class community. I went to St. Simon’s and I walked to school every day, which I liked. We had Neal’s Grocery Store—he was a veteran—when we lived on Jackson Street. Directly facing our home was Green’s. It was a juke joint. They actually had a jukebox. They sold Cokes. Some other things that I didn’t understand were probably going on inside.

Cincinnati Kid: Jimmy Baker
With a new group of high-impact works opening at the Contemporary Arts Center, the artist talks about painting locally, exhibiting globally, and the mash-up of art, media, and culture in 21st century America.
He Shall Overcome
It’s easy to forget Christopher Smitherman’s brash relentlessness is based on old-school Civil Rights tactics. But that doesn’t make the NAACP president any easier to take.
