Avoiding much of the political infighting surrounding the failure of the Cambridge City Council to select a mayor for the past seven weeks, Councillor and former Mayor Kenneth E. Reeves '72 spoke about his life experiences and how they have shaped his political views.
Reeves told about 12 students at Boylston Hall's Ticknor Lounge that as the first African-American mayor in Massachusetts history, he places himself in a larger tradition.
Reeves said his political development was the result of his time spent volunteering while he was a student at Harvard.
"[The plan] represents the best attempt to fill the gap between before and after rent control," Reeves said.
In other business, the council tabled two proposals by Triantafillou, Born, Reeves and Councillor Henrietta A. Davis to petition the State Legislature to extend the rent controls on "expiring-use" apartment buildings.
