At 3:00 p.m., Mr. Morial will hold a roundtable with a number of local elected officials and community leaders at City Hall (400 South Orange Ave.).  The roundtable will focus on the Central Florida Urban League’s ongoing efforts with state, county and city governments to promote education, employment and entrepreneurship in our region.
