Ms. Vopat needs to watch the following so she truly understands the harm that she's done by her actions in a predominately African American community who are continually denied their history and culture (includes the arts).

In response to the above comment, the city council is also at fault by their choice of "entertainment".

I believe they think that any gospel singer should pacify African Americans in Maple Heights. They also have harmed the predominantly African American community with their choice.

In addition to the first comment's video link ... watch:

Would you rather see this:

(see the whole playlist)

or the polka and the kind of jazz, etc in Maple Height's Music in the Park series?

Maple Heights is not a population that consists of a majority people from European ancestry, and unfortunatelu, until you change the leadership in Maple Heights you will keep seeing more and more European culture and not African American culture/ traditions.
