Councilwoman Michelle Kennedy

This apology is 41 years too late, on behalf of the 5-year-old kid that I was Councilwoman Michelle Kennedy and the terror that that sparked for me and the fear that I saw in people's faces for the first time in ways that as a White woman I will never fully understand, I am sorry for what the city of Greensboro failed to do on that day and for the things that we did.

There is nothing in my professional life or really in my adult life that means more to me than saying what we are saying tonight and the only thing I regret is that it didn't happen 41 years ago.
