Dixon also spoke about Obama’s visit to Baltimore. In a nationally televised speech Jan. 17 in the shadow of City Hall, Obama did not mention Dixon, though he complimented the mayors of Philadelphia and Wilmington, Del., earlier in the day as his train passed through those cities.

“Was I bothered by it? Yes,” Dixon said. “Others noticed it and were upset that not even he or the governor or Congressman [ Elijah E.] Cummings mentioned my name. I’m human.

“That was a lonely part,” Dixon said.
