RadioACTive got a preview from Martin Luther King III and Arndrea Waters King of the Drum Major Institute, which carries the work of Dr. King into the 21st century.
A sister march is planned in SLC. RadioACTive spoke with Utah Activist Darlene McDonald — from the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama — for details.
Meligha Garfield of the Black Cultural Center - University of Utah, which just announced the inaugural Operation S.U.C.C.E.S.S fellows powered by the George Floyd Memorial Fund.
