KIMBERLY BELL: You’re welcome. I hope everybody had a nice Thanksgiving. I don’t have much to complain about today. But, I… I want… as you noticed I… I… I pled allegiance now. Everybody was… has been mad for the last four years, but now I stand up and I salute my flag and say as my (inaudible)… my… give my honor to the flag. Before I wasn’t. Last year I didn’t. I was… everybody was angry last year, the last four years. But, I… I… I got a question and I don’t… I know you can’t answer this, but last year I was complaining about all the money and the millions of dollars that’s on this paper that we come in and we see where the City is COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 108 JOURNAL PAGE 518 MINUTES OF THE MEETING NOVEMBER 30, 2020 spending all this money and not one dollar goes to anything I spoke about with… with… um, helping with jobs and the gun violence. It was two gun incidents over the weekend by my house during the holiday, one on 12th and… and Logan… 12th and… um, um, Plain by a drive through and another one on 30th Street. And they got this big thing coming with the Hall of Fame Village and the Centennial Plaza and you think the tourists is gonna come in this city and feel safe being that they know of the gun violence every week that we have? That’s a… that’s a pet peeve of mine, them guns. I mean, I have five grandkids and I have one male child and that… that… that… that gun violence scares me and I hear it all night by my house. I live right downtown in the city. I don’t hear it every night, but I hear it a lot. But we need to find something, some kind of employment. I have a cleaning business. Help me expand my cleaning business. I don’t mind employing people that’s coming out of the prison system. Been there, done that. I would love to expand my cleaning business and give these people that’s coming out of the system a chance. Somebody gave me a chance, that’s why I’m where I’m at now, but they need a chance too. My niece, she’s coming home soon. I’m still today, from things that happened back in the… the late 90’s is still affecting my… me finding housing and a good job. And it’s been over 15 years and I still feel the… the pain from those… those… those convictions, and nobody wants to sometimes give me that chance. But I’ll talk about it next time. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Miss Bell. And our last speaker for this evening is Miss Skylark Bruce. Miss Bruce, could you please step forward and give us your name and residential address, please. SKYLARK BRUCE: My name is Skylark Bruce and I live at 1242 Worley Avenue NW. At the end of the Canton City Council meeting two weeks ago, three Council Members closed by pleading with anyone who would listen that the Coronavirus is real and is to be taken seriously. I completely agree, which is why my life looks dramatically different today than it did a year ago. If I can help it, the crushing surge on hospitals won’t be me or anyone that I sent there. But here is the irony. Viruses are invisible to our eyes. We trust those who know what they’re looking at under microscopes to reveal the impact of viruses and bacteria to us. Another thing that is commonly invisible is institutional racism, just as many people claim that that is a hox or a version of mind control. If it’s not blazing in the lawn in a cross shape, it can’t be racism, many say. If it doesn’t have the shape of a noose, a pie in a tree, it’s not deadly to black people, many say. If it’s not a literacy test or a poll pass, it can’t limit voting, they say. Black people are the experts on how institutional racism affects them far more negatively than anybody else. They are the scientists observing the patterns and reporting to the rest of us what is wrong. The system is meant to be invisible to those it benefits. Racism is sneaky like a virus. The experts, black people, have told us white folks what is wrong and how those of us who are white people can make progress towards fixing it. If we decide we don’t care, that’s going down in history. No one regarded as our cultural heroes now got there by sitting in meetings listening half-heartedly to members of the public. It takes courage and daring to do the unprecedented. City Council members can take concrete steps like pushing for Nix the Six to reduce police brutality, supporting individual liability insurance for officers and making sure no city employees are guilty of providing poor service to black people. Codes that disproportionately damage black people can be changed. Ignoring COVID 19 does not make it disappear. Same with the racism that is baked into our systems. It takes purposeful effort over time. I know most of you don’t have what it takes, but I’m glad to be surprised. Black lives matter. PRESIDENT SHERER: Thank you, Miss Bruce. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 108 JOURNAL PAGE 519 MINUTES OF THE MEETING NOVEMBER 30, 2020 INFORMAL RESOLUTIONS PRESIDENT SHERER: We are now under Informal Resolutions and we have ten for this evening.
