Darryl Gaston asks the question: In a city of constant change, do we have the courage to protect the dignity of others?
On Friday, March 2 at The Fillmore Charlotte, nearly 500 Daybreak Legends came together to hear native Charlottean, community advocate and the unofficial and unabashed “Mayor of North End,” Darryl Gaston, speak to us on our global theme of “Courage.” As a tireless citizen focused on the homeless, affordable housing and empowering the underserved to obtain the knowledge and skills to become self-sustaining, Darryl fearlessly tackled the issue of gentrification in the Queen City, and shared some of the creative ways in which he’s helps to instill his fellow residents of Druid Hills (and other neighborhoods) with power and dignity.
