A
A
It
is
true
that
we
all
bring
a
different
view
on
approaches
to
the
issues
of
our
city,
but
everybody
out
there
should
know
that
Charlotte
has
11
council
members,
one
mayor
and
over
8,000
city
employees
that
are
dedicated
to
make
this
the
city
that
we
all
do
deserve.
We
will
be
losing
three
council
members
who
have
passionately
served
their
constituents.
I
am
grateful
for
all
three
of
your
service
and
excited
to
see
what
is
next
for
each
one
of
you.
The
voters
of
Charlotte
have
selected
the
next
next
iteration
of
council.
A
It
will
be
up
to
us
to
operate
cohesively
to
set
the
clear
position
of
the
city
so
that
our
staff
can
operate
efficiently
efficiently
and
that
the
mayor
can
succinctly
amplify
our
message
for
far
and
wide.
We
will
work
together.
We
will
work
cooperatively
if
we
do
what
so
many
of
us
have
said
and
stick
together
through
thick
and
through
thin
yesterday,
I
was
also
able
to
spend
some
time
with
a
friend.
I
met
this
friend
about
three
and
a
half
years
ago
during
the
Charlotte
uprising
out
on
the
streets
of
Charlotte.
A
We
both
committed
to
ourselves
and
to
each
other
that
we
would
dedicate
our
life
and
our
efforts
to
permanently
disrupting
what
some
of
us
may
refer
to
as
the
Charlotte
way
I
and
refer
to
it
as
the
status
quo,
and
we
have
both
followed
through
on
our
commitments
to
disrupt
the
status
quo.
But
while
we
were
talking,
he
said
something
that
I
stayed
up
last
night.
Thinking
about,
he
said
something
to
the
effect
of.
Why
is
this
work
so
hard?
We
worked
so
hard
in
our
neighborhoods.
A
You
know
Charlotte's
segregation,
our
inequities,
our
lack
of
mobilities.
We
didn't
simply
get
here
because
of
hatred
or
fear
of
one
another.
We
got
here
because
of
intentional
policy
decisions
that
are
passed.
City
Council's
have
made
based
on
visions
of
what
they
saw.
The
city
should
be
tonight
all
of
us
sit
in
this
chamber
and
we
sit
on
land
that
was
once
indigenous
land,
but
we
also
sit
on
land
that
was
once
a
city
within
a
city.
A
The
center
of
black
Charlotte,
the
neighborhood
of
Brooklyn
in
1958,
the
Charlotte
City
Council
voted
to
erase
an
entire
black
community
from
Uptown
Charlotte
for
the
stated
purpose
of
creating
a
better
environment
for
its
residents.
Families
were
told
they
could
return
to
Brooklyn
once
the
city
use
federal
urban
renewal
money
to
build,
affordable
housing.
Here,
no
residences
were
ever
built
and
the
promises
were
never
realized.
A
We
know
how
we
got
here.
Knowing
is,
is
part
of
the
battle.
Now
we
must
do
the
hard
work
to
repair
what
we
have
broken
but
as
I
met
somebody
today,
just
as
I
was
I
was
getting
ready.
They
told
me
to
keep
my
head
up,
because
if
it
ain't
hard
it
ain't
worth
it
I
do
want
to
take
a
moment
as
a
personal
point
of
privilege,
to
talk
about
the
day.
A
A
different
part
of
the
day
that
I
had
yesterday
yesterday
I
was
able
to
reflect
on
the
journey,
not
just
in
the
past
two
years,
but
really
the
past
three
and
a
half
years
that
I
have
been
on
along
with
my
family,
much
of
which
has
been
shared
with
the
greater
Charlotte
community.
I
want
to
thank
my
entire
family,
those
binded
by
blood
and
those
who
have
been
selected
by
choice
and
fate
along
the
way.
I
love
you
all
I
could
not
and
would
not
be
here
without
you,
the
ride
has
been
wild
and
I.
