[Mpls] Rybak meeting with "Black Leaders"

[Shawn Lewis]

Mayor Rybak:

I hope that you have at least a DUAL TRACK approach 
to meeting with people from the African American Community. 
One, of course, is meeting directly with individuals who 
request meetings with you. Secondly, and most importantly, 
is meeting individuals through city council members like 
Natalie Johnson Lee and Don Samuels, which covers the 
northside of Minneapolis. I'm quite sure they are willing 
to help you identify new and different voices within the 
African-American Community. That is, talking to the same 
old people is going to get you the same old results. Thank you.

Bethel said that he, Moss, the Rev. Jerry McAfee and 
MAD DADS president V.J. Smith had attended a two-hour 
meeting with Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak earlier Tuesday. 
The meeting was planned before the shootings, but it gave 
them an opportunity to talk about them.
