Said he and his organization want to stay abreast of the monument project and stressed that the names and races of all 344 incorporators must be legible in the final artwork, or it won't depict the true history.

Attended with Keith Moore on behalf of Profiles of Black Miami to follow the monument project and advocate for the incorporators' names and races being represented.

Stipulated that the monument must list each man's name alongside his race, as it appears on the original charter, and expressed a personal preference for the artist concept featuring the house and rocking chair.

Agreed that the board should cast a wider net for local artists and shared historical context about the diverse backgrounds of the Black men who signed the 1896 charter.
