Walker, who was on the trip, said there was a “good mix” among the attendees.

The discussion veered into the city’s direction following the Aug. 12, 2017, white supremacist rally. Hudson said Galvin and Signer don’t respect Walker and the media is “telling the story wrong.”

Galvin was met with shouts when she asked staff if the city has ever paid for a for-profit entertainer.

“Last year we had snipers, this year we just want a rapper,” Marissa Turner-Harris yelled.

Walker quickly tried to show that the white councilors were not steamrolling the ideas of a black woman, saying, “This is something myself that I’ve even asked a lot of questions about, it’s not just the other councilors.”

Bellamy and Hudson said the city doesn’t offer enough events catering to the African American community and Wale would move the needle in a positive direction.

Signer focused on effective budgeting procedure.
