Last night I attended a benefit at the Minneapolis Urban League, for little Daevion Boney, the 3 year old shot in the hand in North Minneapolis.
The event was a huge success. I was surprised that there was no representation from the Minneapolis police department and the absence of Mayor Rybak was noted by all. I would like to thank the following people for coming out to show that they care: State Representative Neva Walker, State Representative Keith Ellison, CP Natalie Johnson-Lee, CP Don Samuels, Mayor Candidate Peter McLaughlin, Human Rights Director Tyrone Terrell, Mother Liz Samuels, Gregory Gray, Betty Harpo and Community Activist Al Flowers, Ron Edwards, Booker Hodges, and Spike Moss. The theme was Spiderman, since that is Daevion's favorite super hero. There was even a young teenager dressed as Spiderman. Thanks to the community for coming together for this very special event.
