I do want to share, that my heart has been heavy, as an African American man here in Riverside, with what has been going on at the high school and some of the racist actions and statements that 4 have been made. I think it's important that we try to do what we can to educate one another and make sure it is a safe place for all. If you don't know what is going on I encourage you to look into it and I could share with you what has been going on. It has definitely alarmed me and it is going on in our city. It is something we should be having discussions on. Alderman Cockrell —Asked when 1-29 would be opening up? Response was November 1611 and maybe earlier.
