The father of slain Black teenager Michael Brown Jr. and activists from Ferguson, Missouri, are demanding $20 million from Black Lives Matter Movement, a now prominent movement they said has forgotten about the “freedom fighters” killed and jailed in the pursuit of social justice.
On Tuesday, Tory Russell, the director of the International Black Freedom Alliance (IBFA), and Michael Brown Sr., released a joint video statement condemning the foundation for not supporting the families it said it was intended to help.
Four Black artists of different backgrounds and artistic mediums discussed their artistic inspirations and the importance of storytelling through visuals in a virtual conversation hosted by the Morton Theatre Corporation.
The conversation was regarding Morton Theatreâs Defiance Project Awards, which funds projects that âexplore the Black Lives Matter Movement and/or everyday experience.â Award recipients Kxng Blanco, Noraa James, Broderick Flanigan and Booker T. Mattison participated in the discussion, along with Thomas Brazzle, the Morton Theatre Corporationâs programming committee chair.
The Morton Theatre Corporation created the Defiance Project Awards to uplift and financially support local Black artists speaking about social and racial issues through their work, Brazzle said.
