The successful struggle to elect newarks first black mayor, kenneth gibson. Elected in june of 1970, gibsons administration marked a turning point for the black Freedom Movement in newark and was part of a National Wave a black political organizing that culminated in the election of black mayors in cities like cleveland, dairy, atlanta and detroit from 1967 to 1974. These histories feel particularly vital right now as black lives struggle against Police Violence in the wake of the murders of george floyd in minneapolis, jacob blake in kenosha, breonna taylor, as once again sounded the call for black liberation while raising familiar questions about electoral politics and black freedom struggles. 50 years ago, gibsons landmark election came on the heels of the 1967 rebellion in newark, when the Police Beating of an unarmed black man named john smith sparked a fiveday uprising against White Supremacy and its an forces in blue in the jim crow north.

Continue to will investigate each and every instance of illegal voting. Double voting, phelan voting, people voting outofstate. Outofstate. I want to remind members of a few matters, some of them required by the regulations accompanying House Resolution 965, which established the framework for Remote Committee proceedings.

Members are further reminded that they may only attend one remote hearing at a time. If you are participating today, please remain with us during the hearing. Members should try to avoid coming in and out of the hearings. Particularly during the questions. If during the hearing

I think maybe to add to that, john, in terms of readiness, we also have a partnership established with m. T. C. , who is very invested in helping us get this funded and implemented. We realize this is a time where no one has any extra money and it also says we need to have done, because when the economy comes back and the people come back, they can navigate easily. So we will have it ready and continue to work with m. T. C. And anyone else we might be able to coordinate or partner with to get funds for that. I actually had an idea ill run by john after as we were going to a presentation on who we might seek for additional sponsorship on in implementing more wayfinding. And again, my last question. I mentioned this was designed 10 years ago, but is th
