For 75 years EBONY and JET have been the authoritative voice highlighting the injustices of Black Americans from featuring the open casket of the lynching of 14-year old Emmett Till, to the footage of the brutality against nonviolent protesters during the Civil Rights Movement to the need for bail and prison reform.
Throughout the years, EBONY has shown the development of Black lives from athletes, inventors, media moguls, and a President.
Friday’s discussion will feature interviews with experts and thought leaders such as: Fox Sports’ Mike Hill, Equal Justice Now founder Tony Smith, JR.
“The lawlessness and violence that continue to take the lives of our brothers and sisters; George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery are just among the thousands that continue to cry out that BLACK LIVES MATTER,” said Chief Communications Officer of Ebony Sabrina A. Taylor.
Friday’s event will live-stream on ZOOM, Ebony’s Facebook, and YouTube pages.
