From The Archive: Mel Reeves Speaks Truth to Power

The death of long-time Journalist and Activist Mel Reeves at 64 was announced by the Minnesota Spokesman Recorder on January 6th 2022: https://spokesman-recorder.com/2022/01/06/a-fighter-until-the-end-activist-journalist-mel-reeves-passes-at-age-64/ In this speech from the archive we hear Reeves speaking to the Minneapolis School Board in October of 2010 on behalf of the Save North High Coalition and Zion Baptist Church. In the end North High was saved but the community school the coalition had pushed for was never realized. (PHOTO: from 2014 Africa Counts!
