Minneapolis mayor declares Clyde H. Bellecourt Day
Monday, May 2, 2005

The mayor of Minneapolis has declared Friday to be Clyde H. Bellecourt Day in honor of the co-founder of the American Indian Movement.

Bellecourt, 68, will be honored at a ceremony at the Minneapolis Convention Center where singer Bonnie Raitt will perform. At the event, a total of $60,000 from the new Clyde H. Bellecourt Scholarship will be awarded to six Indian high school graduates.

On Saturday, a traditional powwow will be held at the center. The powwow is free and open to the public.

Bellecourt is a member of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe.

Holy smokes, Batman, the mayor

just gave the Joker

the keys to the city!

Seriously, though, it's kind of obvious the mayor didn't read any rap sheets before making that decision and kind of sad stuff like this happens because some politician is looking for diversity points.

Who's next? Ward Churchill gets the keys to Boulder? How about Nathan Bedford Forest's descendents getting the key to Birmingham?

What a crock.
