I
I
pledge
allegiance
to
the

to
the

for
which
it
stands.
One
nation,
under

indivisible
with

and
justice
for
all
and
given
this
moment
of
time,
where
we're
awaiting
an
important
trial
and
results
of
trial
in
minnesota,
as
our
country
is
now
coming
to
grips
with
its
original
sin
out
of
racism
and
that
we
are
across
the
country
learning
to
do
things
to
make
ourselves
more
equitable.

G
Day,
good
morning,
city
council,
not
sure
if
you
can
hear
me
or
see

we
can
hear
you
excellent.
First
of
all,
let
me
say
thank
you
so
much
for
the
partnership
that
we've
had
with
the
council
for
many
many
years
on
this
wonderful,
wonderful
program.
G
We
are
very
excited
to
kick
off
the
23rd
annual,
take
a
father
to
school
dave.
But,
more
importantly,
I
think
that
we
need
to
really
buckle
down
this
year.
G
The
covet
19
has
thrown
a
curve
to
everybody,
and
so
we
have
to
be
creative
and
in
ways
of
getting
to
our
students
and
we're
excited
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
some
different
things
this
year
around
the
importance
of
the
resilience
of
reading,
encouraging
folks
to
read,
get
a
book
read
to
a
child
point
out
the
words
pronounce
them
out
loud.
We
have
to
do
these
things
because
reading,
of
course,
is
the
key
to.
G
Hear
you
especially
the
staff
administration
at
the
pittsburgh
public
schools
for
their
many
many
years
support
under
the
leadership
under
the
leadership
of
dr
anthony
hamlet
and
then
we're
also
extremely
excited
about
the
fact
that
each
year
we're
able
to
pick
up
more
and
more
supporters
in
terms
of
sponsorships.
G
F
Thank
you,
mr
brintley.
Thank

H
Thank

thank

for

us
to

here
today.
I
also
thank
you
for
making
this
event
to
to
celebrate
father's
an
annual
declaration
across
this
city.
23
years
ago,
former
school
board
member
mark
brentley
senior
set
out
to
increase
the
active
participation
of
fathers
and
men
in
pittsburgh,
public
schools.
It
has
been
my
esteemed
privilege
and
honor
to
watch
the
seed.
Mr
britney
planet
blossom
into
an
active,
thriving
initiative,
so
engaging
that
other
districts
across
the
country
have
adopted
take
a
father
to
school
day.
H
I
know
personally
how
important
it
is
for
a
student
to
look
up
and
see
their
father
grandfather
uncle
brother,
pastor
or
positive
male
role,
model
standing
next
them
encouraging
them
in
the
classroom.
While
we
would
love
for
dads
to
celebrate
in
person,
our
schools
will
be
celebrating
this
year's
events
virtually
to
ensure
everyone's
safety.
H
F
Thank
you,
dr
hamlet.
Next,
up

trevor
daley.
I
Good
morning,
everybody
thank
you
so
much
for
for
for
having
me
this
is.
This
is
amazing
what
you
guys
are
doing
reverend.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
prayer
to
start.
That
was
that
was
great
great
way
to
start
it
off.
I
think
I'm
here
just
to
to
talk
about
you
know
being
a
dad
on.
I
have
a
nine-year-old
daughter.
I
I
have
a
12
year
old
son
and
you
know
my
my
biggest
influence
on
them
being
a
role
model
and
you
know
being
a
hockey
player
as
long
as
I
I've
been
one
is,
was
just
to
teach
them
work
ethic.
You
know
to
to
work
hard
to
follow
your
dreams.
You
know
I
was
always
somebody
that
my
mom
always
told
me
to
to
make
sure
you
dream
big
and
follow
your
dreams
and
work
hard
and
who
knows
what
could
happen
and
as
a
father
now
teaching
them?
I
don't.
I
I
don't
go
far
off
from
what
I
was
taught
by
by
my
mom.
She
taught
me,
you
know,
be
a
good
boy
use
your
manners,
work
hard,
treat,
people
the
way
you
want
to
be
treated
and
that's
kind
of
the
message
that
I
try
to
try
to
instill
in
my
kids
and
it's
the
same
message
when
you
know.
Hopefully
we
could
get
back
to
normal
here
and
and
not
have
to
do
this
on
on
a
webcam
anymore.
I
We
could
say
this
in
person,
but
that's
what
I
would
my
message
to
to
all
the
kids.
You
know
when
I
do
get
to
go
in
school,
so
that's
that's
my
message
to
them
and-
and
I
think
that's
so
important-
and
you
know
we
are
in
tough
times
right
now,
with
with
everything
we're
going
through
with
everybody
is
going
through.
Not
just
you
know
what
we
see
on
tv
in
in
minnesota,
but
you
know
this
whole
covert
thing
so.
I
Stay
positive,
it's
you
know,
things
are
going
to
get
better,
we're
we're
we're
we're
pretty.
I
feel
my
heart
that
we're
we're
going
to
have
many
good
days
down
the
road
here.
So
I'll
leave
it
with
that,
and
thank
you
guys
so
much
for
having
me.
F
Thank
you,
mr
daley.

dan
hensley.
D
Thank

Thank

Everyone.
My

I

a
librarian
at
carnegie
library
of

I'm
also
a
proud

D
D
So

While

D
F
J
Hey
y'all,
just
before
derek
shelton
goes
on.
This
is
joel
gray
manager
of
community
outreach.
I
just
wanted
to
say
on
behalf
of
the
pixar
pirates.
We
were
really
excited
and
hats
off
to
this
continued
effort
of
take
your
father
to
school
day
and
I'm
standing
in
support
of
my
brother,
derek
shelton,
who
I'm
gonna
pass
it
over
to
now
to
speak
about
being
a
father.
K
Good
morning
and
thank
you
to
city
council
and
thank
you
joel
for
that
introduction
very
excited
to
be
here.
Take
your
father
to
to
school
day
is
kind
of
special.
For
me,
my
father
was
a
teacher,
so
I
was
in
school
with
him
a
lot.
He
was
actually
the
dean
of
students
when
I
was
in
school,
so
it
will
keep
you
on
the
straight
and
narrow
when
your
father
is
doing
all
the
discipline
in
a
school.
K
For
my
brother
and
I,
but
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
I
wanted
to
hit
on
is
I
have
a
2017
and
11
year
old
children,
boy
girl,
girl
and
something
that
really
stood
out
at
the
beginning
was
the
mentorship
and
role
model
aspect
of
that,
and
I
think
it's
extremely
important
for
for
all
of
us,
as
as
parents
and
as
fathers
to
to
do
that,
especially
in
the
world
we're
living
in
today.
K
I
think
the
greatest
gift
that
we
can
we
can
give
to
the
world
is
making
sure
that
our
children
make
it
a
better
place,
and
that's
where
I
really
feel
the
importance
of
fatherhood
is
and
whether
that's
in
the
classroom,
whether
that's
on
you,
know
the
hockey
arena
the
baseball
field,
the
football
field,
that's
where
we
can
provide
as
long
as
we're
giving
love
and
support,
that's
extremely
important.
K
So
I
would
like
to
thank
you
very
much
for
having
me
continue
to
to
love
your
kids,
whether
you
know
with
mine
right
now,
because
they're
in
florida,
it's
through
zoom
or
if
you're
in
person.
But
I
like,
I
said
before
I
think,
the
gift
that
we
give
is
making
sure
that
our
children
understand
it
and
make
sure
the
world
needs
to
move
forward
and
become
a
better
place
have
a
blessed
day.
F
Thank
you,
mr
shelton.
Next,
up
from
literacy
pittsburgh
we
have
maria
polinski.
C
Great
thanks,
larry
thanks
so
much
to
city,
council
and
pittsburgh
public
schools
for
the
chance
to
be
here
today.
Literacy
pittsburgh
is
excited
to
be
a
sponsor
of
this
year's
take
a
father
to
school
day.
I
think
this
is
our
third
year
being
involved,
and
it's
been
it's
interesting
to
have
virtual
this
year.
So
definitely
the
definition
of
resilience.
C
Parents
and
caregivers
are
a
child's
first
and
best
teacher.
They
set
the
stage
for
learning
throughout
a
child's
life
literacy.
Pittsburgh
is
committed
to
ensuring
that
the
adults
surrounding
our
children
are
prepared
for
this
role
for
nearly
40
years.
We
have
helped
adults
and
families
create
better
lives
for
learning.
We
give
people
who
experience
life
and
learning
challenges
a
second
chance.
Our
students
and
their
families
embody
resilience
at
literacy
pittsburgh.
C
Our
students,
through
their
example,
convey
to
their
children
that
education
is
important.
They
are
better
able
to
help
their
children
with
homework,
communicate
with
teachers.
They
really
instill
a
love
of
reading
and
learning
that
will
influence
a
child's
achievement
in
school
and
throughout
their
lives.
C
C
F
Thank
you,
maria
such
inspirational
messages.
Today,
I'm
loving
it
and
last
but
definitely
not
least,
from
the
pittsburgh
steelers.
We
have
brandon
hi.
L
Good
afternoon,
good
morning,
everybody,
my
name,
is
brandon
hunt,
I'm
the
pro
scouting
coordinator
for
the
pittsburgh
steelers,
as
well
as
have
the
privilege
to
be
a
son
and
a
father
of
two
five
and
eight-year-old
boys.
I'm
excited
that
we're
take.
We
are
part
partnering
with
the
pittsburgh
public
schools
for
the
take
the
father
to
school
day
program.
L
It
is
imperative,
as
men
that
we
all
take
an
active
part
in
education
in
the
development
of
our
youth,
to
ensure
the
success
success
now
and
in
the
future,
as
families
and
entire
communities
continue
to
recover
from
this
pandemic
that
we're
all
going
through.
L
Programs
like
this
are
important
to
continue
so
our
kids
to
continue
now
so
that
our
kids
know
that
we
continue
to
support
them
as
a
father
and
as
a
son,
I
know
it's
important
for
our
youth
to
have
mentors
fathers
and
father
figures
to
look
up
to,
and
we
at
the
pittsburgh
cereals
look
forward
to
supporting
this
initiative
now
for
many
years
to
come.
Thank
you
for
this
blessed
opportunity
to
be
a
part
of
this,
and
I
look
forward
to
actually
being
hands-on
with
a
bunch
of
you
in
the
future.
Thanks.
F
Thank
you,
mr
hunt,
and
with
that
we
yield
back
our
time.
A
Now
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you
is
that
that
is
that
the
end
of
their
presentation-
brenda!
Yes,
I'm
sorry!
I
saw
you
come
in,
so
I'm
deferring
you.
We
are
at
the
second
proclamation,
which
is
the
to
be
reading
record,
which
is
the
fear
we
have.
I
guess
two
to
be
random
record.
You
want
to
take
over
an
hour
or
you
may
go
through
the
proclamations.
Your
choice
goes
through
the
proclamations,
then
now,
okay,
so
all
right.
A
So,
second
of
all,
we
have
two
proclamations
to
be
read
in
the
record
kim.
Will
you
do
that?
For
me
sure.
B
And
whereas
people
of
all
identities
under
every
protected
class
are
entitled
to
equal
opportunities
for
the
peaceful
enjoyment
of
housing,
regardless
of
their
identity.
Whether
it
is
actual
or
perceived,
whereas
illegal
barriers
to
equal
opportunity
in
housing.
Whether
subtle
or
blatant,
diminish
the
rights
of
all
and
violate
our
community's
shared
and
deeply
held
values
of
equality
and
dignity
for
all.
B
And
whereas
the
pittsburgh
commission
on
human
relations
can
convene
the
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
task
force
which
released
12
recommendations
to
the
city
of
pittsburgh
for
decreasing
discrimination
and
increasing
equity
in
housing.
And
whereas,
despite
these
efforts,
discrimination
and
housing
persists.
B
In
our
city
and
the
city,
through
its
mayor
council,
commission
on
human
relations,
housing
authority,
urban
redevelopment
authority
and
department
of
city
planning
still
works
toward
achieving
the
recommendations
of
the
affirmatively,
furthering
fair
housing
task
force
and
ending
housing
inequity
for
its
citizens
and
whereas
national
fair
housing
month
is
the
time
to
join
together
and
recommit
to
the
task
of
eradicating
housing.
Discrimination
and
affirmatively.
B
A
A
Second,
although
it's
in
favor
certified
by
saying
aye.
E
A
E
Thank
you
so
much
councilman.
First
of
all,
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
councilwoman
strasberger
and
her
office's
work
on
the
proclamation
and
what
her
consent
would
add
her
as
a
sponsor
to
the
proclamation.
I'm
forgive
me
for
that
oversight,
and
I
I
just
wanted
to
to
extend
my
appreciation
to
everything:
the
fair
housing
task
force
and
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
work
that
has
been
done
in
the
city
and
the
commission
on
human
relations.
E
We
know
that
we
still
have
housing
issues
in
the
city
around
inequality
around
discrimination,
and
I
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
work
that
all
of
city
council
has
done
to
secure
housing
and
really
acknowledge
that
housing
is
a
human
right
and
that
we
are
doing
what
we
can
as
a
body
to
make
housing,
affordable
and
fair
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
I
don't
think
I
can
say
it
more
eloquently
than
the
director
hammond
who's
with
us
here.
I
he
should
be
here
in
the
panel
as
well
director.
N
Yeah
absolutely
thank
you
so
much
councilwoman
gross,
and
you
know
I
really
really
appreciate
this
year's
proclamation.
I
think
that
it
has
some
very
important
parts
to
it.
I
love
the
fact
that
we
are
acknowledging
that,
although
the
fair
housing
act
was
passed
in
1968,
pittsburgh
had
its
fair
housing
ordinance
in
1958.
So
we
have
a
long
history
of
commitment
to
fair
housing
in
pittsburgh,
but
we
acknowledge
that
we
have
a
long
way
to
go
and
that
you
know
we
have
attempted
to
to
look
at
the
fair
housing
task
force.
N
The
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
task
force
recommendations.
I
I
really
appreciate
that
there
is
further
commitment
from
the
council
to
look
at
these
recommendations
and
to
see
what
is
actionable
and
to
support
us
and
our
move
towards
housing
equity
for
the
city
and
to
end
discrimination
in
the
city.
So
you
know
fair
housing
is
the
meaning
of
fair
housing.
N
Is
fair
is
housing
free
from
discrimination,
but
I
think
it
will
go
far
beyond
that
and
looking
at
inequities
that
we've
lived
with
in
this
city
for
a
long
time
and
pressing
forward
in
the
in
the
ways
that
we
can
to
to
change
the
story
and
change
the
narrative
for
our
city.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you.
N
I
appreciate
it
so
much
and
I
appreciate
the
commitment
that
that
council
makes
to
furthering
fair
housing
and
to
acknowledging
that
fair
housing
month
is
here
and
that
I
will
continue
to
work
on
fair
housing
for
the
for
the
rest
of
our
our
time,
together
until
until
it
can
be
determined
that
we
no
longer
need
to
do
so,
which
will
be
quite
a
ways
from
now.
E
Thank
you
director.
I
don't
believe
we
have
any
other
guests,
so
I'll
I'll
give
it
back
to
the
chair.
Thank
you.
Unless
councilman.
A
A
Not
all
you
know
almost
always,
and
so
we
should
build
mixed
income
housing,
not
just
in
block
communities
and
poor
communities,
but
we
need
to
do
mixed
income
housing
in
every
community.
We
will
have
further.
We
will
have
achieved
this
goal
when
there
is
more
affordable
housing
in
squirrel
hill
when
there's
more
affordable
housing
in
shadyside,
when
there's
more
affordable
housing
and
south
side
flats,
when
there's
more
affordable
housing,
you
know
on
mount
washington
we
need
to.
A
We
need
to
now
think
that
every
time
there's
a
market
rate
development
what's
going
to
be
that
impact
of
affordable
housing,
not
that
they're
bad
people,
but
if
we
do
a
market
rate
development
without
the
same
time
being
thoughtful
of
creating
more
affordable
housing
in
essence,
we're
creating
segregated
communities
and
we've
been
doing
this
for
hundreds
of
years
in
pittsburgh
we
have
been
intentionally
creating
and
living
in
segregated
communities
in
pushing
african
americans
to
live
in
concentrated
poverty,
and
now
this
is
the
moment
of
time
that
we
have
to
be
thoughtful.
I'm
not
blaming
anybody.
A
I
don't
think
it
was
intentional,
not
necessarily
it
was
intentional
at
some
point,
but
not
always
intentional,
but
now
that
we
know
that
fact
we
should
now
scrutinize
every
single
time
we
do
a
market
redevelopment
and
and
and
see,
and
as
I've
learned
from
you
know,
councilman
strasberger
and
the
giant
eagle
commitment
in
shadespat.
A
Almost
every
development
can
include
a
minimum
of
10
percent,
affordable
housing
without
affecting
their
bottom
line.
So
we
know
that
they
can
do
it.
They
just
don't
want
to,
and
so
that's
the
charge
I'm
going
to
charge
this
council,
I'm
not
going
to
be
my
conversation
every
time
I
see
any
market
rate
development
over
three
or
four
units
I'm
going
to
ask:
where
is
the
affordability?
A
How
is
this
offsetting?
You
know
discrimination
and
housing,
so
we
have
another
proclamation
to
be
read
in
the
record.
Councilwoman
strasberger's
resolution.
B
Yes,
councilwoman
strasberger
presents,
whereas
young
adults
have
been
dr,
have
been
a
driving
force
for
change
in
the
last
century,
bringing
new
ideas
and
high
hopes
to
our
national
dialogue.
Today
we
remember
the
efforts
of
those
who
fought
for
their
seat
at
the
table
and
we
encourage
coming
generations
to
claim
their
place
in
our
democracy
and
now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
council
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh
hereby
recognizes
tuesday
april
27
2021
as
the
26th
amendment
day
in
the
city.
O
P
Thank
you,
reverend
burgess
I'll
just
say
a
few
words.
I
didn't
ask
for
this
to
be
read
in
in
its
entirety,
given
our
other
proclamations
today,
but
I
did
want
to
just
note
that
within
the
I
hope
people
will
take
the
time
to
read
through
it,
because
it
is
the
50.
It
will
be
the
50th
anniversary
of
the
passage
of
the
26th
amendment
on
the
27th
of
this
month,
and
we
talked
today
about
how
the
youth
of
today
are
our
leaders
and
not
our
future
leaders.
P
There
are
leaders
of
today
and
they
will
save
us
all
and
the
fact
that
they
are
they
are
engaged
in
the
political
process
today,
which
I
think
is
wonderful,
which
I
didn't
experience
as
much
with
my
peers.
When
I
was
their
age,
I
certainly
was
trying
to
be
politically
engaged,
but
I
saw
apathy
when
I
was
their
age
and
I
see
now
out
of
necessity,
young
people
actually
engaging
in
the
process
even
before
they
can
vote
and
they
are
ready
to
vote
when
they
turn
18
and
it's
so
refreshing.
P
But
I
understand
it's
also
out
of
necessity,
they're
fighting
for
their
lives
and
their
futures,
so
I
wanted
to.
I
wanted
to
honor
the
work
that
doesn't
always
get
spoken
about
in
our
history,
that
it
was
a
struggle
for
young
people
to
get
a
voice,
get
their
voices
heard
and
have
a
seat
at
the
table
at
a
younger
age
and
lowering
the
age.
The
voting
age
to
18
was
a
work
of
organizing
significant
effort.
P
So
I
wanted
to
also
recognize
that
it's
the
graduate
student
assembly
at
carnegie,
mellon
university
that
brought
this
to
my
attention
and
asked
that
not
only
we
submit
a
proclamation
but
has
also
asked
the
same
governor.
A
All
right
and
so
seeing
all
the
conversation.
We
will
now
turn
it
over
to
the
president
president
kell
theresa
kell
smith,
and
we
will
move
into
paul
mcconnell.
M
Thank
you
reverend.
Thank
you
for
with
me
this
morning,
the
next
this
public
comment,
and
I
would
like
to
remind
everyone
that
the
rules
of
council
state
that
comments
are
limited
to
matters
of
concerns.
Official
action
or
deliberations
which
are
or
may
be
before,
city,
council,
profanity
and
threats
will
not
be
tolerated
or
permitted.
M
May
we
have
the
first
speaker
please
and
please
first
in
neighborhood
for
the
record,
you
have
three
minutes
to
speak
and
madam
clerk,
can
you
please
call
the
first
speaker
sure.
M
Q
Hi
this
is
carmene
pimpanella
and
I
thank
you
for
allowing
me
time
to
speak.
I
am
a
resident
of
the
morningside
area.
I
have
been
asking
since
2019
for
my
alley
to
be
paved.
It
is
swan
alley
between
vilsack
and
martha.
I
have
multiple
cirrhosis.
I
can
only
get
out
through
the
back
leading
to
the
alley.
It
is
filled
with
craters.
Q
They
are
no
longer
potholes.
I
use
a
scooter
and
I
am
afraid
that
the
scooter
is
going
to
tip
over
and
I'm
going
to
break
bones.
I've
already
broken
both
feet
at
one
time,
just
falling
in
the
house,
so
I
saw
the
new
paving,
but
the
area
of
swan
alley
that
I
live
on
is
not
included,
and
I
am
asking
if
that
can
be
included.
M
Thank
you
is
that
the
end
of
your
comments,
yes,
okay,
thank
you,
I'm
sure
councilwoman
will
be
in
touch
or
counsel
person.
May
we
have
the
next
speaker,
please
ike
hannah.

Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
councilman
burgess's
comments
about
10,
affordable
housing
by
required
for
large
luxury
developments,
and
I
just
wanted
to
be
sure
that
we
acknowledge
the
good
people
of
lawrenceville
who
championed
the
first
pilot
project
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
for
the
mandatory
inclusionary
zoning
at
10
percent
and
the
many
dozens
now
of
units
that
have
been
constructed
in
lawrenceville
because
of
that
zoning
change.
E
They
inclusionary
zoning
overlay
that
will
be
in
front
of
council
to
vote
in
permanently
sometime
this
summer,
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
those
that
even
that
pilot
project
would
not
have
happened
without
many
years
of
advocacy
among
the
neighbors
neighborhood
groups.
So
many
meetings
so
well
attended
with
so
much
community
input
and
the
leadership
that
happened
there.
So
I
just
didn't
want
to
negate
all
of
that
effort,
and
I
appreciate
your
time.
A
Thank
you.
I
want
to
certainly
thank
councilman
gross
and
all
of
her
efforts,
and
I
want
to
make
it
very
clear
that
the
the
only
reason
that
I
have
not
tried
to
expand
that
pilot
program
is
that
I
have
been
cautioned
by
the
law
department
that
the
bible
was
to
try
to
do
that
city-wide.
A
A
I'm
actually
now
speaking
to
those
who
may
be
watching
us,
you
know
I
we're
at
a
unique
moment
of
history
and
I
am
prayerful
for
peace
in
our
country.
I
have
not
watched
the
derek
chavin
trial.
I
could
not
watch
it.
I
I
can't
watch
it.
I
can't
spend
my
day
in
tears
all
day
long.
A
Every
time
I
watch
it.
I
cannot
help
but
crash
and
I
can't
stop
crying
if
I
even
think
about
it.
Long
I'll
start
crying
george
floyd
that
whole
idea
that
we
don't
that
we're
now
in
suspense
right.
We
we
don't
know,
we
saw
our
murder
with
our
own
eyes
and
now
we
have
to
wait
to
see
after
we
saw
the
lynching.
A
A
A
A
I've
dedicated
my
life
on
counsel
to
this-
and
hopefully
you
know,
some
of
the
words
we've
said
have
found
its
way
into
the
larger
city
context.
I
started
talking
about
a
city
for
all.
Now
it's
a
language
that
everyone
uses.
I
started
talking
about
the
tell
of
two
cities,
and
now
everyone
uses
it,
and
hopefully
black
pittsburgh
matters
will
be
the
next
word
choices.
I
decide
I
use
another
one
that
other
people
will
pick
up
the
goal.
Now
is
how
do
we?
A
How
do
we
invest
in
black
people
in
black
communities?
How
do
we
do
it?
How
do
we
disproportionately
invest
and
to
take
resources
from
other
things
and
to
invest
specifically
deliberately
intentionally
over
the
next
50
or
100
years
into
black
people
in
black
communities
that
it's
that
simple,
it's
not
anything
other
than
that
there
is
not
it's
not
legislation,
although
legislation
alone,
it
was
great,
it's
not
coming
together.
That's
great!
It's
now
time
to
put
up
or
shut
up.
A
I
I
have
worked
with
this
mayor
to
put
money
in
the
black
communities
proud
of
that,
but
it's
not
going
to
be
enough.
We're
going
to
have
to
do
this,
and
this
uncomfortable
process
is.
This
is
the
moment
of
our
life
right.
This
uncomfortable
process
of
investing
in
black
people
and
black
communities
disproportionately
is
the
only
solution.
It
is
it
everything
else
we
talk
about.
Unless
we
do
that,
we're
not
sincere
everything
else
will
be
helpful,
it'll
feel
good,
but
it
won't
change
the
status
quo
every
day.
A
Every
day,
every
day,
every
day
this
country
is
profiting
because
of
his
historic
racist
practices
that
have
isolated
black
people
have
put
them
in
ghettos,
have
redlined
them
have
discriminated
against
them
over
and
over
and
over
again,
and
now
it's
time
some
people
call
it
reparations.
I
call
it
justice.
It
is
time
for
us
now
to
look
at
our
city,
our
state,
our
county,
our
federal
governments
and
take
the
dollars
that
have
been
stolen
from
these
communities
and
these
people.
Historically,
we've
done
a
great
job.
Our
police
has
been
reformed
and
we
have.
A
We
have
a
great
police
force
in
many
ways.
Unfortunately,
the
nature
of
policing.
It
is
not.
I
we've
been
through.
You
know
the
national
initiatives
we've
done,
we
have
shots,
fired,
we've
done
everything
we
can
except
the
nature
of
policing.
Isn't
it
has
an
issue
right
it?
It
has
a
history,
the
nature
of
pollution,
we're
going
to
have
to
change
when
we
imagining
police.
That
means
we
have
to
have
less
officers,
hopefully
maybe
even
paid
more
but
less
officers.
A
A
If
we
could
take
all
of
pittsburgh
all
people
and
put
them
in
a
snow
globe,
every
house,
every
family
shake
it
up
and
turn
over
so
that
black
people,
poor
people
were
equally
dispersed
throughout
every
neighborhood.
In
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
we
would
have
very
little
crime
and
violence.
It's
the
concentration
because
of
our
racist
past.
It
is
the
consecration
of
black
people
and
the
concentration
of
poverty.
That
is
the
core
of
the
violence
that
we
face,
therefore,
and
the
crime
that
we
face.
A
Therefore,
the
re
you
know
the
reaction
of
that
crime
and
violence
has
been
this
military
militarization
of
the
police
force
and
so
to
keep
the
white
suburbans
feeling
safe
and
then
are
those
maybe
diamond
suburbs,
those
white
completely
white
residential
areas,
and
then
you
have
this
divide.
A
This
track,
you
know
across
the
tracks
divide,
and
all
that
is,
is
history
of
our
country,
I'm
afraid,
but
hopeful,
I'm
like
obama,
right
for
the
first
time
I
saw
young
black
people,
I've
been
saying
this
all
of
my
life
and
this
summer
last
summer
I
saw
black
people,
young
black
people
and
my
kids
age,
and
they
don't
see
you
know
my
kids
didn't
grow
up.
They
don't
see
the
they
don't.
They
didn't
have
to
deal
with
the
the
the
utter
racism.
A
A
I'm
praying
for
I'm
I'm
just
I'm
very.
I
guess
I'm
all
over
the
place,
but
this
trial
has
absolutely
knocked
me
to
my
knees.
I
can't
watch
it.
I
pray
for
the
verdict.
I
pray
for
peace.
I
pray
that
we
do
not
go
crazy,
regardless
of
that
wheel,
that
whoever
whatever
side
thing
is
they're
victorious
doesn't
go
crazy,
but
my
over
and
over
again
my
plea
to
council
and
especially
as
we
now
start
to
look
at
we'll
talk
tomorrow
about
the
stimulus
dollars.
A
A
I
hope
that
we
all
pray
that
we
are
so
I
pray
for
peace
in
our
city
and
our
country,
but
I
am,
I
am,
I
am
afraid,
although
I
believe
the
future
is
bright
right,
we're
we're
seeing
the
last
gasp
for
racism,
which
you're
really
seeing
we're
going
to
become
a
more
diverse
country
by
just
by
birth
and
you're.
Seeing
now
the
last
gasp
of
white
racism
as
we're
starting
to
demand
dismantle
it
you're
seeing
it
raises
ugly
head
with
trump
and
trumpian
philosophies
to
make
its
last
and
and
its
last
death
stand.
