One Vision s Children s Autism Center and J. Brooks of 98.7 KISS Country come together to celebrate autism awareness, advocacy, and acceptance at the 10th annual Walk-a-Block event from 1–3 p.m.
When a video of activist Keiajah “KJ” Brooks verbally eviscerating the Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners went viral in October of this year, she was still relatively new to activism in fact, 20-year-old Brooks has only been organizing for about six months, as of December. After attending a protest in Kansas City over the police killing of George Floyd, she and a group of other young Black people have made it their mission to be a thorn in the side of the Kansas City Police Department. So for Brooks, the short statement that gained her an international audience was simply an average Tuesday.
