Students, activists and local citizens plan on addressing the mayor’scomments last week by flooding council with letters of concern that they hopewill be read at the virtual council meeting June 16. Many Black Lives Matteractivists believe Tom Adams is not aligned with the issues that have spawned thesedaily protests at Library Park.
