Originally broadcast January 8, 2013. Cleveland's Lou Stokes served for 30 years in the United States Congress - the first African American from Ohio - and retired in 1999 to practice law. Earlier this year, at age 87, he officially retired from that job, too. But he's not, as he puts it, going home to fall asleep in front of the TV. He's got a memoir to write. We'll spend the hour filling in the pages in conversation with Northeast Ohio's elder statesman.Louis Stokes
