Hello Minneapolis Folks: I was very impressed with 3rd Ward Council Member Don Samuels inaugural speech. I found his speech bold and inspirational. Giving me a clear insight into his strong ethical and moral beliefs in the role of city government should play. This portion of the speech was one of my favorites.
CM: Samuels, "The Third Ward is America. It is all America wants to be. But it suffers from vestiges of all the old America was. Our worst enemy is not a mustachioed Arab. Our enemy is our own internal divisiveness. Our enemy is our loss of hope for the children of our community. Our enemy is the atrophy of surrender to decay. Our enemy is the misconception that all cops are abusive or that all young black men are criminals. Our enemy is acceptance of mediocre results to our demands for livability." Thank you Council Member Don Samuels for giving such a wonderful speech. Respectfully, Ken Bradley Corcoran Neighborhood __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
