Audio from The Black Academy of Arts and Letters of a city council meeting held on September 13. The audio begins with a prayer for patience. After, the Dallas mayor suggests moving to a different chamber to accommodate for the large number of citizen speakers in the audience and waiting outside to be seated. The discussion devolves into an argument due to a large majority of council members and audience members wanting to remain seated. Once moved, guest speakers walk up one by one to give their opinions over a tax increase on the Dallas citizens for renovations to cultural institutions such as the Dallas Convention Center and stadiums.
