COMMUNICATIONS WITH AND REPORTS OF THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE

Frank White, Jr., County Executive, presented a proclamation honoring

Alvin L. Brooks on the occasion of his 90th birthday on May 3, 2022. Mr.

White said Mr. Brooks is a legendary civil rights activist, former Kansas

City council member, police officer, mayor pro-tem and founder of the

community organization, AdHoc Group Against Crime. Mr. Brooks is the

esteemed author of Binding Us Together: A Civil Rights Activist Reflects

on a Lifetime of Community and Public Service.

Mr. Brooks was appointed by former President George H. W. Bush to the

President’s National Drug Advisory Council and by Governor Jay Nixon to

the Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners because of his long

history of fighting for civil rights, violence prevention and criminal justice

advocacy. Mr. Brooks was presented with the 2021 Community MVP

award for his lifelong service to Kansas City, from Chiefs quarterback

Patrick Mahomes, and was chosen as the 2019 Kansas Citian of the Year

by the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce.

Among many important things Mr. Brook’s parents taught him was the

importance of education, and in 2000 the Brooks Institute was established

at Metropolitan Community College (MCC) Penn Valley campus to

engage and encourage students to study in the criminal justice field. In

2009 the University of Missouri - Kansas City Department of Criminal

Justice and Criminology announced the Alvin Brooks scholarship.

Mr. Brooks married Carol LaVern Rich in 1950. They had six children and

were together for 63 years until her passing 2013.

Mr. Brooks has had his share of adversities and used them for the

betterment of not only Black people, but all people. His commitment and

devotion shown to everyone in the community is commendable and

praiseworthy.

Mr. White expressed his deepest respect and admiration to Alvin L.

Brooks on his 90th birthday and congratulates him on his decades-long

fight for speaking truth to power.
