Baltimore's Burns and Schmoke vie for mayoral nomination
Two black Democrats of different backgrounds contest the Baltimore mayoral nomination. Clarence “Du” Burns trails Kurt Schmoke, Yale and Harvard educated, in polls though Burns seeks to become the city’s first elected black mayor. Burns rose from high school staffer to City Council president, while Schmoke, a Rhodes scholar, leads a field without a white candidate.
