After months of waiting, the City Council filled its vacant Ward 3 seat, appointing local artist and activist<\/span> Pierce Freelon<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sworn in today, Freelon was selected in a 4-2 vote Monday, taking the position left empty when <\/span>Vernetta Alston<\/span> was appointed to the NC House representing District 29 in April.<\/span><\/p>\n

Freelon pointed to poverty as one of the biggest challenges facing the city in his online interview with council members last week.<\/span>\u00a0\u201cPoverty is a policy choice,\u201d he said, tying violence, crime, the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic on Black, Indigenous, and communities of color and a shortage of affordable housing to poverty. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>He said Durham must acknowledge the city government’s historic role in zoning and development that harmed communities of color and push for inclusiveness, such as multi-class, inter-generational involvement in city decisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Freelon also said he favors alternatives to reducing gun violence beyond policing, such as more counselors, vocational training, and recreational opportunities for young people.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the interview, Freelon said his budget\u00a0 priorities include ensuring no city workers will be laid off because of the pandemic, supporting Durham as a cultural and artistic center, and continuing the COVID smart response of the current council. <\/span>Freelon also drew parallels between COVID-19 and the racism experienced by communities of color.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBecause when you’re black and you get hit by the storm, it’s not just the rain and the wind, it’s the tempest of racism,\u201d said Freelon. \u201cWhen you’re black and brown and there’s a virus, the diagnosis itself can be dire, but it’s the plague of white supremacy and poverty that exacerbates the havoc that black folks are experiencing,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Five finalists addressed council members last week, including <\/span>Anita Daniels-Kenney<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Leonardo Williams<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> Sarah Sinning<\/span><\/a>, and<\/span> Shelia Huggins<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Council members DeDreana Freeman and Mark-Anthony Middleton voted for Daniels-Kenney, a clinical social worker who for many years has worked to expand mental health and addiction treatment, among other things.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
With a 4 to 2 vote, Pierce Freelon was appointed to represent Durham’s Ward 3 on the City Council.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

During the council interviews,<\/span> Middleton <\/span>questioned <\/span>Freelon <\/span>on his residential status. The two went back and forth for about<\/span> four <\/span>minutes, with <\/span>Middleton <\/span>asking whether <\/span>Freelon <\/span>moved to Ward 3 this year to seek the appointment. <\/span>Freelon<\/span> said he has lived at his current address since March of this year. He also said he’s lived in the ward for a total of <\/span>10 years<\/span> at various times.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the first vote, Schewel gave council members the chance to make the vote for Freelon unanimous. Middleton and Freeman did not respond, producing an awkward silence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Schewel praised Freelon after the vote. \u201dPierce Freelon emerged as the council’s choice because he is generous, brave, straightforward, incredibly knowledgeable on the issues that face us, and a powerful voice for the new generation of Durham,\u201d he wrote in a <\/span>press release<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Freelon<\/span>\u2019s appointment comes after <\/span>two unsuccessful<\/span> runs for office in Durham in the last<\/span> three years. Schewel<\/span> thwarted the first <\/span>in 2017 when <\/span>Freelon finished<\/span> third out of six Democratic candidates competing to succeed former Mayor Bill Bell<\/span>. In March, Freelon finished<\/span> second to Natalie Murdock in a primary race for the District 20 state Senate seat<\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ward 3 stretches north and south on the western side of Durham, from below Route 54 to above Interstate 85. Although Freelon ran on the principles of black liberation and reparations, the <\/span>ward<\/span><\/a>, which includes Duke University, is majority white.<\/span><\/p>\n

Freelon, 36, is a Durham native and the son of the late architect <\/span>Phil Freelon<\/span><\/a>, who spearheaded the design of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., and Nnenna Freelon, a <\/span>Grammy-nominated jazz singer<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A musician, he is founder of the digital maker space and creative center,<\/span> Blackspace<\/span><\/a>, whose artistic workshops offer youth of African descent \u201ca breathing space to manifest their dreams by any medium necessary\u201d.\u00a0 He and his wife, Katye Proctor Freelon, have two children. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Freelon’s appointment runs through 2021. If he wants to remain on the council, he’ll need to run for re-election in November.<\/span>
