BROOKFIELD, WI The Brookfield East High School and Brookfield Central Black Student Union on Monday condemned the Common Council s action on February s Black History Month resolution. While we re happy to see the city of Brookfield begin to discuss some issues Black Americans face in the area, we are disappointed that the specific issue of racism and inequality were overlooked in the proclamation, the union said in a statement Monday.
The Common Council voted 12-2 Feb. 16 to approve a Black History Month resolution that had been revised by Mayor Steve Ponto. The mayor said the original version was negative in tone.
