It's an afternoon meeting with Lubbock Mayor Dan Pope next week.

Wow, to be singled out like this is a bit tough.

While being interviewed by the New York Times, Lubbock Mayor Dan Pope revealed the positive COVID-19 diagnosis for two family members.

Mayor Pope is urging all citizens to wear face coverings and practice social distancing. His latest Disaster Declaration includes requirements for face coverings in certain circumstances, but there are no civil or criminal penalties for non-compliance.

Mayor Pope may not have been around to enact the barriers which keep these communities from thriving, but he is the one in charge today of removing them.

Denial does not look good on the mayor.

One day after the largest spike in new COVID-19 cases, representatives of the City of Lubbock addressed the latest outbreak in an online news conference.

The event was organized by The 100 Black Men of West Texas. Lubbock Lubbock Mayor Dan Pope and Police Chief Floyd Mitchell were among those who spoke to the crowd, with Mayor Pope speaking about a message of unity and peaceful protests.

The 100 Black Men of West Texas will be holding a march tonight in Lubbock to protest the recent actions of law enforcement across the U.S.

Why have no city officials released a statement, touted our own diversity efforts, or even expressed sympathies over George Floyd's tragic killing?

This whole thing stinks like Sunday morning at the feed yards.

In a press conference that confirmed an additional 10 cases of coronavirus in Lubbock County, Mayor Dan Pope said he's issuing a stay-at-home order.
