Tonight we head to a community in arkansas where the Confederate Flag still flies. As two black lives matter activists try to break bread with people who see them as less than human. Heres abcs steve osunsamosuns. Black lives matter black lives matter reporter its a hot summer day in one of the whitest communities in america, and activists waving flags that read black lives matter have come to this small town, and for the most part theyre not welcome.

We just heard from alisha, she was ms. Universe. Can we just stop for a minute and reflect on the absurdity of donald trump finding fault with ms. Universe . I mean, think about what that says about this mans head. We will truly make America Great again. Dont be bamboozled. Dream big. Push for bold change. And believe in a movement powered for our love for each other. You dont want somebody who really doesnt know what theyre doing or show any curiosity about what theyre doing to hold this job.
