During Thursday's meeting of the Hawthorne Neighborhood Council board, a group of Hmong student soccer players and their mentor, Jay Clark, presented a video to the board. The video formally thanked Hawthorne for supporting efforts to bring a bilingual Hmong teacher into the North Minneapolis School system. Apparently, the Jordan Neighborhood was also involved in the effort, which might be described as a "joint" effort.
The youth played a heart-warming video for the board about how much it meant to have a bilingual teacher. I hear the video will eventually make its way to a U of M website. Once I get word of that, I hope to link it here.

Being the amazing, true-to-life adventures and (very likely) misadventures of a writer who seeks to take his education, activism and seemingly boundless energy to North Minneapolis, (NoMi) to help with a process of turning a rapidly revitalizing neighborhood into something approaching Urban Utopia. I am here to be near my child. From 02/08 to 06/15 this blog pushed free speech to the envelope, so others could take heart and speak unafraid. Email me at hoffjohnw@gmail.com
