“The only thing I can maintain is that in this moment are promised to be a better man tomorrow than I am today,” Huntsville City Councilor Devyn Keith said. “I promise you, there will be a better Devyn tomorrow than there is today.”
Keith spoke without notes in an even, calm voice as he addressed a city council chambers in which virtually every seat was filled and others stood near the doorway. He spoke for just over four minutes.
Keith gave no indication he was considering resigning, telling constituents to still feel free to call him if their garbage is late getting picked up or if their street needs to be paved.At the end of his statement, he said he was recusing himself from the rest of the meeting. He stood from his seat at the end of the dais and walked out of the chambers with an escort from Huntsville police. Keith took no questions.
“I am also sorry for my family,” Keith said. “I have a mother, a grandmother whose tears I wish I could get back. Sisters, brothers, aunties and uncles. I’m so sorry for the ripple effects that came to your phones, your social media, your doors as well.”“Mostly, I’m sorry to my community. This was never about a man but the mission, one I believe in wholeheartedly. Right now as I speak to you from my heart, I love you. Because the spotlight that is on me should be on you at all times.
