John Sullivan, 26, and Casey Robertson, 47, faced off over the summer at Black Lives Matter protests.
When Black Lives Matter protests kicked off in Utah in late May, John Sullivan noticed a lot of the leaders were white.
So the Black, 26-year-old, former speedskater decided to start his own organization. He called it Insurgence USA, and he immediately started organizing protests for racial justice.
