| DECATUR—In celebration of Black History Month, DeKalb County Commissioner Stan Watson will present the “State of Black DeKalb: How Far Have We Come?” to the citizens of DeKalb. The event will be held Feb. 21, 4 to 7 p.m., at the Porter Sanford III Performing Arts and Community Center, 3181 Rainbow Drive. Watson said a panel of community leaders will share their thoughts on political issues that are impacting DeKalb. “We want to have a candid conversation about the progress we’ve made and the challenges and concerns that we as African Americans have regarding life in DeKalb County,” said Watson. On Common Ground News’ editor Valerie Morgan, who plans to participate on the panel, applauds Watson for hosting the Town Hall style meeting. “An honest assessment of ourselves is only going to make DeKalb that much stronger,” Morgan said. A reception will follow the panel discussion.  Stan Watson |
