Longtime community leader outlines what it takes to make change

June 6, 2017 Community Matters

Rickey Hall

June 6, 2017

Rickey Hall was to be part of a panel discussion of the city’s Neighborhood Matching Grants program. His late arrival put him on front  of the Forum alone, and his comments went way beyond the city program explored here.

Hall described a from-the-bottom-up effort to end food resource issues, boost youth employment and raise resident participation for the West Boulevard corridor from uptown past the airport. New development projected near the Catawba River gave Hall the chance to opine on how to navigate change while supporting the people already living in a place.

In the video below, Hall’s presentation begins at minute 59:10. He answered questions beginning at minute 1:09:28.
