The city of Cincinnati has been the location of much racial unrest that has recently garnered U.S. national attention. Rated as one of Ohio's most livable cities, "The Queen City" of Ohio erupted in racial protest and anger following the killing of unarmed Timothy Thomas, an African American man, by a European American city police officer. This police killing represented the 15th reported death of African American men by Cincinnati's police officers in the past 5 years. Bearing in mind the contemporary racial situation of Cincinnati, Ohio, this article uses a conceptual/theoretical construct of historical archeology to focus on the political and power-laden historically situated aspects of the city's race relations, particularly in the field of education.
