[quote=Anonymous]The most compelling voice I've heard yet is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M20S98ndwkA at 7:25 Mr. Nicholas Hogan testifies - the only "person of color" to address the Board. I favored changing the name with the support of the community. Looks like it will be changed but there's a lot to learn from how this process has been conducted and to consider the views of both "sides" to this controversy. You should watch this clip. The contrast with the outraged white woman who follows and claims to speak for the dis-empowered, is priceless, and gives a new meaning to "white privilege". There's also something to learn about how some of our representatives disrespect their constituents. Read the FOIA materials to see how Sandy Evans and Pat Hynes conducted the public's business. Hopefully, the rest of this process is conducted respectfully and a modus vivendi is achieved and we can get back to supporting our HS with some pride. [/quote]
