About Boyd
Boyd Morson the "People's Choice in the Central District" has jump started his third
campaign for the upcoming Election on August 10th!
Boyd has a longstanding background and commitment to serving
in the community. As a Program Developer and Grant Writer, he
have developed and organized community outreached programs for the
City, Inc. And Pilot City in North Minneapolis. He coached and mentored
youth from the Northside of Minneapolis for many years. He served as
Vice-Chair of the Brooklyn Park Human Rights Commission and Vice-
President for the State of Minnesota League of Human Rights
Commission.
As the Vice-Chair of the BPHRC, he introduced the "Celebrating the
Many Faces of Brooklyn Park" to the city. An event that has become a
signature event for the city. An event that offers an opportunity for the city's
diverse residents to become engaged and involved in the city. While
providing all stakeholders an opportunity to meet, greet and learn about the many ethnic groups we have within our
community. An event to begin building a bridge of understanding, communication and relationships amongst our
many uniquely enriched and culturally diverse population. This event is held during the month of January, the
coldest month in Minnesota, but have successfully had well over 1500 participants, supporters, volunteers and
venders involved in these untapped efforts by the city.
Also as VC, I have asked tough questions of staff and our city elected officials which made them uncomfortable at
times. But, this was as a result of the immense frustrations by residents, which described the city's efforts as
being very non-understanding and unkind to some. I have had city inspectors come out to residents homes, after
their yards were flooding as a result of developers neglect; defended small business owners, stood up for families
in crisis where the city officials were trying to deny fair and equal access to the law and small businesses. I have
attended meetings where the city have purposely tried to dis-include the residents in the process and I have also
defended our city against false claims and quick to correct others about the many great and wonderful residents
who true heartfelt stories goes untold.
I am no stranger to confronting challenges or to speaking-up, speaking-out, speaking-clearly, speaking-loudly and
speaking-often, as he has appeared before City Council, House of Representatives and met with Senators, as the
spokes person for the Equality Campaign. The Equality Campaign advocates for Human and Civil Rights for all
Minnesotans. I appeared on WCCO to discuss the many inequities identified, not just in the state but, in Brooklyn
Park. Where the state received a failing grade "F" for enforcing Human and Civil Rights and the Governor received a
D-.
I attended Wellstone Action and received an award for being one of the Top Candidates of my class. As an
attendee, I learned that grassroots organizing is the way to reach the many stake holders, and by going out to
where the people are at. And by doing so will present the residents with an opportunity to learn more about me and
for me to learn more about their issues and concerns. "It is my purpose to listen, learn and educate myself on the
needs and concerns of the community, to better enable me to become a more affective, engaged and involved in
the issues of the community, to readily work to meet their needs and solve their problems.
I'm a native Detroiter, Boyd attended Wayne State University, United States International University, Wayne County
Community College and Olympic Community College and became involved in the criminal justice process. Boyd
campaigned for City Council while residing in Detroit and showed the city how to raise 11 Million Dollars.
Appointed Policy Council Chair and Policy Committee Chair for the City of Detroit. He also served as Budget Chair
(over 100,000,000) and Personnel Policy Committee Chair and served as Master-at-Arms for the State of Michigan
Head Start Council. He co-founded Adopt-A-Cop Youth Mentorship Program, while working with the Detroit Police
Department-7th Precinct. A program that was introduced and supported by the many Officer's in the 7th Precinct.
Officer's that would willing get involved in their spare time, volunteer and mentor troubled youth from within the 7th
Precinct area. To help them become proactively involved and committed to the city while helping to reduce and
control unwanted crime amongst troubled youth. While, also helping to steer their misguided paths into a more
positive and productive place in society.
As President/CEO of Urban Kidz Organization, he is working to
develop an After School and Out-of-School Time Youth Enrichment
programs, for a lost generation of misunderstood, misguided and
troubled youth. My commitment to the youth community and wanting
willingness to organize efforts that to reaches out to those 70% of youth that's unaware of programs and
the 30% that is not involved in any type of youth outreach
programming is unmatched. The overwhelming number of youth that
being served, speaks volumes for his commitment to reach out to
those in need South of 85th. He's not afraid to boldly go where our
present leadership hasn't gone and/or has demonstrated their
unwillingness to go. Boyd is committed to travel and has been
proactively involved within our community to learn the needs of the youth and meet them where they are and not
have them to come to him.
In my personal time I enjoy spending time with his family, friends and grandson "Tigger"! He serves as a member
of the Twin Cities Postal Consumer Advisory Council, Red Cross, Haven-4-Kidz and many other organizations.
He's also invited and well received as a facilitator teaching Law Enforcement and Community Engagement
Training for Police and Sheriffs Departments.
I am truly in the community, with the community and for the community!
