Ella Jones Makes History as The First Black Mayor In Ferguson

Ella Jones made history last night, becoming the first African-American and first woman elected mayor in Ferguson, Mo., on Tuesday.

According to the New York Times, Jones, who received 54 % of the vote, vowed to continue changes enacted after Brown’s death, including a federal consent decree, a legally binding agreement requiring reforms to a police department

Jones previously served as a member of the Ferguson City Council and will relieve James Knowles III, who  could not run for re-election because of term limits.

“I’ve got work to do — because when you’re an African-American woman, they require more of you than they require of my counterpart,” Jones said after her victory, in a video posted online Tuesday night.

This is not the first time Jones made history in Ferguson.

In 2015, Jones, a Ferguson resident for more than four decades,  became the first African American woman to be voted to the city council.
