Community leader announces mid‑June memorial and Family Freedom Center program for children
Summary
Community leader Henry Banks told the St. Louis County Board of Commissioners about a Clayton Jackson McGee memorial commemoration and a Family Freedom Center educational series called 'Unapologetically African' aimed at children and families starting in June.
Henry Banks, introduced by the board as a community leader and elder, used the meeting’s public comment period to share two upcoming community events.
Banks said the Clayton Jackson McGee Memorial commemoration is scheduled for two days in mid‑June; he referred to the dates as “the 12th and 13th” during his remarks. He also said the Family Freedom Center will start an educational program in June called “Unapologetically African,” for children ages 5 to 12 and their families.
Banks described the presenters for the Family Freedom Center program as professors from UMD and contributors from the state of Michigan who will lead learning sessions for children and families in Duluth and the surrounding region. He said the series is open to the public and intended to help “our kids get to know and learn where they came from.”
There were no questions from commissioners following Banks’s remarks. The announcements were made during the board’s public comment window for items not on the agenda.
