Hello, everybody. All right, this isnt easy, doing the whole civil war in such a short period of time. Well see if i get it done in 49 minu49 minutes or 53, whatever it takes. Good luck for those of you that like to take notes. The seeds of the civil war are sewn in the constitution and soon after, slaves are partly a person, for some purposes theyre a person, sometimes theyre not a person. You have north and south starting to look at each other differently. You have the southerners look to the north and though they speak the same language, the
At first, he thought somebody was playing a joke on him but realized this was a scary and dangerous situation. This Surveillance Video shows a moment when a gun with pistol whipped him. The owner says two men walked into the store just after 11 00 last night. One, holding another employee at gunpoint in the back. The other, grabbing cash. I wanted to be alive. I want my coworkers to be alive. Reporter and air force veteran fought back. He reaches for a gun near the register. The rubber pistol whipped hymns twice more but not before mark fired a shot.

Suffering, including during this, yet another christmas season. Please work harder. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is lisa. Im a proud district 5 resident.

And i would like, again, to thank you so very much for what you have done. I want to say, im with you all on the city college. But i came here to talk about the Reparations Initiative. And i also came here to not necessarily talk about racism and those type of things, but to talk about acknowledgement and being overlooked.

We actually contributed to the fabric of this
