Brown won in a 5-4 vote split primarily along racial lines, with the exception of District 1 board member Mark Bellue, a white American man, who voted for Towns, and District 4 board member Dawn Collins, a black American woman, who voted for Brown. ?Collins bore the brunt of the outrage from audience members almost immediately. ?Former state senate candidate Gary Chambers rushed for the microphone to speak during a public comment period.??“Dawn, you voted against a black woman tonight,” said Chambers. ?Board president Michael Gaudet attempted to interject, only managing to say, “sir,” seeming aghast at Chambers’ statement, before Chambers continued. ?“You just voted against a black woman with a PhD. You failed us tonight,” said Chambers. “All that we did to stand up for black people tonight. And, you sided with the people who took two hours to give us something that took 75 years.”?
