Mike Elliott was elected Brooklyn Center s first Black mayor in 2018, swept into office as a charismatic change candidate who intimately understood one of Minnesota s most diverse cities and could transform it, as his campaign literature said, from stagnant status quo to a vibrant city.

Who is Mike Elliott? Former refugee in national spotlight after Daunte Wright shooting Corky Siemaszko
For many Liberian survivors of the civil wars that tore their African country apart, the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center was what New York City was to Jewish escapees of the Holocaust and what Chicago was to Poles exiled after World War II a safe place to start over.
One of the Liberians who found a haven in Brooklyn Center is Mayor Mike Elliott, who was 11 when his grandmother spirited him out of Liberia.
Now, in the wake of the killing of Daunte Wright, who was Black, by a white police officer, Elliott faces the biggest challenge of his first term as he tries to lead Brooklyn Center through a crisis that threatens to shred the social fabric in one of Minnesota s most ethnically and racially diverse cities.
