GREAT FALLS, Mont. - One organization is kicking off a virtual event called Purpose of Protest, which is designed to explore the historical and contemporary role of protest in American Democracy.
Humanities Montana has set up an event with three panelists from different areas of the state. Their focus is to discuss protest in America from different perspectives.
The panelists include activist Angeline Cheek, historian Kyle Volk, and Chief of Police Rich St. John.
The protest has been a hot topic in America this year, with several protests taking place right here in Montana.
That s why Samantha Dwyer, program officer for Humanities Montana, said it s a good time to have this discussion.
