COVINGTON, Ky. â Covington is considered the most diverse city in Northern Kentucky and now, representation in local political positions is finally beginning to reflect that.
Ron Washington, vice mayor of Covington said he remembers when the city was separated by Madison Avenue, east and west.
The eastern side of the city, he said, was predominantly populated by African Americans.
Michelle Williams, Covington City commissioner, remembers it well too. Everyone would say, yeah, you don t belong on the other side of the railroad tracks, she said. That was for the other side.
