Earlier this year I spoke with @levelmag about the rise of vigilante white supremacists. During Black History Month I was forced to relocate my business and residence because the Ku Klux Klan was recruiting people in our area. https://twitter.com/levelmag/status/1269624244557754368?s=19

In times of crisis, the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe. #ValueUsAlive

Rest In Peace Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum. #RealHeroes
