City of Lewisville, TX
Home MenuListen Learn Lead
The brutal and needless death of George Floyd in June 2020 brought a new focus nationwide on the inequality that still exists in our country and on the need for systemic change. Even though this event happened many miles away, Lewisville is not outside this damaged system and Lewisville has to be part of any lasting solution.
Toward that end, Mayor Rudy Durham expressed a desire to hear directly from the African-American community. At his direction, city staff created a community group to listen and learn together and then help build a path forward for Lewisville. This group was called Mayor’s Commission – Listen Learn Lead. The name reflected the need for city officials to listen to under-represented communities and the need for those residents to be heard. It also mirrored the leadership model of George Washington that people should first listen and learn before they try to lead.
