Don has known DeRay McKesson for many years – long before his journey from Minneapolis to Ferguson and his life as a national activist.

We will have a lot of reaction to the elections in the coming days and weeks.
We are all in this together and this is a time to educate, unite and keep each other safe. But we also have some extra time to read and learn and educate ourselves in many ways.
We will continue to produce high-quality, intelligent conversations with thought leaders as our citizens try to readjust to this pandemic during the summer at Baltimore Positive.
Please subscribe to Baltimore Positive and stay with us.
We’ll try to keep you cool.
