Friday | 11/20/2020 | Power To The People: A Conversation w/ Nick Thompson

We enter the weekend on a powerful note, the result of today’s interview. Today, Good Morning Aurora had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Nicholas Thompson, Communications Coordinator for the City of Aurora. Nick is an active and dedicated, longtime community partner. In our conversation we talked about books and knowledge, in addition to the activities for the Black Alliance for Peace. We also speak about community issues, what we want to see as residents, and also the current state of African-Americans in the city as well. For many people, social justice and the fight for equality is on-going. When we say we want equality it is meant for everyone, including the down-trodden. Nicholas has been making a positive impact for a long time and his work with Goldfinch cafe is noteworthy as well. We appreciate Nick for taking the time to sit down and enlighten us; we wish him much success and will be following & highlighting his continued hard work.

Shouts go out to my neighbor for giving me extra lawn bags for all of my leaves yesterday. Now my lawn is looking fantastic! Much love also goes out to Dapper Brews, Tredwell & all small businesses in Aurora. Drive-by parade tomorrow begins at 1 pm at the Tiger Athletic Club in honor of the 100th birthday for Mr. Johnny Kee. Shout out to Talented Tenth & ONUS; Neighbors Feeding the Neighborhood initiative on November 26th (more details to come). Thank you to all of our supporters and listeners, the best is yet to come.
