Hello Joe and others interested in this tread:
It has everything to do with this historical fact. A department of our city government is telling us to do something that is not safe to do. That is walking through the parking lot to get to the mall. Now what would happen to an African American who showed up on any other day of the week than Saturday 50 ears ago? Do you think African Americans would be safe on their shopping trip?
It would be going backwards in time to insist that African Americans do their shopping on Saturday afternoons.
If Star Metro is going into the Governor Square Mall now it certainly is a step backwards to take the bus service out of the mall.
African Americans have fought long and hard to get the right to shop on every day along with the rest of America. We blind along with the rest of the disabled community don't want special treatment. Do we? We want that same chance like everyone else; as long as it is a safe chance.
Simply said I don't want to go backwards. I was kind of sort of in favor of giving up bus service through May apartment complex for longer night and Sunday service. Now this seems to be off the table and no service to the mall unless one walks. We are going backwards here. I am not against walking. 

Tallahassee is not a walk able community, not yet.

What does this have to do with his question? He was asking if it would be of 
a help if they got a foot in the door by starting getting the bus in the
mall on the weekend he said Saturday but I would think he would also include 
Sunday on the list unless the bus doesn't run on Sunday. I don't see what
this has to do with race or slavery! Just my thoughts. Yes Saturday would be 
better than nothing.

In the old days of segregation southern towns would only allow African
Americans to do their shopping in town on Saturday afternoons.

No but thank you for asking.

One other thought y'all.  What if StarMetro provided into the mall
service on Saturday only?  Would that help?

Kevin.

As some of you know from the paper, the final meeting of the TAC
will be this Thursday.  Our Chairman has requested that it be a meeting
without any further public comment so the TAC may deliberate and vote.  I
have all of your concerns, and feedback from the last meeting and will try
my best to take all of your positions into consideration that night. I will 
report to the group as to whether the measure passes or not, and by what
degree of majority.
