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.

Tvs american artifacts we visit the Cannon House Office building to see artifacts that tell the story of africanamericans in congress in the 20th century. Im farar elliott. And im matt waz knsniewski. We wanted to talk about africanamerican representation in the 20th century. We have a lot of artifacts from the house collection that have to do with that and a lot of history to cover. And the last africanamerican to be elected in the 19th century leaves in 1901, george white of north carolina. And then its a long time before another africanamerican comes into the house. And that is Oscar Depriest from illinois. And we have a couple of really rare artifacts from Oscar Depriest from the 1920s and 30s.

Tumlin will talk about this, but last week we did have a press event with supervisors peskin and preston announcing that we will be delaying our fare increases. Obviously when we were voting upon that fare increase, we could not have understood the magnitude of what was before us and not to mention we didnt really have a path forward in being able to fund the operations, so i want to thank you supervisors peskin and preston for working with us to come up with solutions which i cannot tell you what they are today.

And with that, i will turn it on to the next item. All right
