Black people have had lands taken from us in the so-called Parramore Area every year since 1920 by use of various racially disparate means, primarily redlining!
The records are very accurate that show insidious action by elected and appointed officials to deprive African American business owners of opportunities, equal access to financing that egocentric ethnic group business persons have had access to.

It is all over the media that Black people have higher mortality rates than others for COVID-19. The most vulnerable are the elderly, as well as people with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory illness, high blood pressure and cancer, are at increased risk for serious illness from the Corona Virus. It is well known that a very high percentage of the Black population has these medical conditions. So why would Mayor Demings and Mayor Dyer limit Corona Virus testing in the Black community?

So, I remember when I was about 3 or 4 years old, I wasn't allowed to do many chores around the house. I couldn't try new things without my mom, my dad or an older sibling by my side. I remember being very young, and my brother Lorenzo, who was about 18 months older than me, took the responsibility of fixing my milk bottle while telling me how to do it. Was he mentoring me?
I was the fifth of six siblings and still asking momma to find my other sock. Whether my needs included fixing me a sandwich or pouring me a glass of juice or pulling a splinter out of my foot, there was always momma or a sibling there to help, whether they wanted to help or not.
Mayor Jerry Demings and the Orange County Housing For All task force unveiled a 10-year plan to add tens of thousands of new homes to the Orange County landscape.
I didn’t attend this meeting but I did watch the video afterwards. This meeting proved to be hyperbole just like the ones that I attended in person.
As I viewed the video, I took the liberty of inserting my thoughts. Here is my opinion intertwined in this review of the Housing For All Task Force Final Recommendations Meeting.
