Spotlight: North Hill Leader & Activist Gary Wyatt Talks About The Mayor

As head of He Brought Us Out Ministry, Inc. and the North Hill Community House, Gary Wyatt is a recognized neighborhood leader and a strong voice for progress and hope in our community. In this video, Gary talks about the positive changes he has seen in Akron through the many years of Don Plusquellic's leadership.



Gary also notes the pride he felt when Don was recognized by President Obama as a leading mayor, during the Inauguration and also when the President needed local input on the economic stimulus plan. He explains that the City's support has been critical to a number of important neighborhood programs, like lunch programs, tutoring and youth activities--all of which give hope and relief to so many in need.
