An Uptown activist whose civil disobedience shined a light on the conditions facing Black Americans locally following the Jacob Blake shooting was among the featured speakers in a virtual conversation aimed at recognizing the racism that exists in communities before they can reconcile, heal and move forward.
The online dialogue presented by Alex Miranda, director of the soon-to-be-released âTrace the Line,â featured Kenoshans Porche Bennett-Bey, founder of United as One and Moorish Outreach Coalition, and Bear Developmentâs CEO and President S.R. Mills, along with Minneapolis NAACP President Angela Rose Meyers and Joselynne Joy Gardner, assistant deputy general counsel for Chicagoâs Board of Education.
