MAYOR RAS J. BARAKA STATEMENT ON PROVIDEDVIDEO OF HIS ENTRY AND EXIT AT DELANEY HALL LAST FRIDAY
“For media use, I am providing the linked video clips below to dispel descriptionsof my entry into Delaney Hall last Friday as ‘storming’ the facility. These videosmake it clear that Delaney Hall personnel opened the gate for me, and allowedme to enter the property, as well as my calm and respectful departure whenasked to leave. None of my actions were orchestrated or preconceived, and thisarrest occurred because I was specifically targeted by this Administration.”
