Good evening family and friends! Lately I and other concerned citizens have been working on forming an African American Affairs Commission which would represent the needs of African Americans and give us a red telephone to City Hall and Tulsa County. Jack Henderson our District One City Councilor for 14 years has not supported this effort. We currently have a Hispanic Affairs Commission, Native American Affairs Commission, Woman's Affairs Commission and Human RightsCommission. After two protests from the community and ignoring our requests to be included in the process; Mayor Dewey Bartlett is now deciding to form an African American Affairs Commission staffed by people "HE" choose and once again, leaving us out of the process. I do not agree with that! An African American Affairs Commission should be staffed by people in the "COMMUNITY" and organizations that "WE" choose and trust. I would love to have your support on this issue. If you would like to help us form an African American Affairs Commission or stay updated on community issues please inbox me your email address so we can get to work! District One lets do this!
