At least eight panelists are scheduled to join council member Dex Ellison when he hosts the third in his series of panel discussions called “Dialogues for Peace and Progress” a week from today from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Held in conjunction with the state’s Juneteenth celebration, the hybrid event will be held in the City Hall council chambers, and will also be available through Channel 10, the City’s cable TV outlet; the City’s YouTube channel and its Facebook page.
“We started the Dialogues for Peace and Progress in 2020 as a platform for community members and local leaders to have honest conversations about the important issues impacting our community, but through the lens of people that we typically don’t get to hear from, and in concert with significant historical events like Juneteenth,” Ellison said in a statement released today by the City. “Through an open dialogue, we are often able to educate ourselves while broadening the minds of others.”
According to the City’s statement, the Peace and Progress series “works to join community members and leaders for open and honest conversations to raise awareness and, if necessary, facilitate change in the City of Kyle.”
The other panelists scheduled to participate are Vanessa Westbrook and Anthony Davis, both members of the Hays County Historical Commission; Kyle Police Department chaplain Marquet Curl; Phillip Cleary, president of the Kyle Law Enforcement Association; Tyler Robinson, president of Vision in Progress at Texas State University; Morgan Curl, assistant director of the IMPACT education program; Mackenzie Smith, student government director of advocacy at the University of Texas; and Lulling ISD assistant principal Donye Curry.
