ORLANDO, Fla. – Black Lives Matter protests have slowed down across Central Florida, but the pain that prompted the protests is far from gone.
That is the driving force behind a virtual town hall Monday evening focused on bringing people together over the issues that are driving them apart.
Orlando City Commissioners Regina Hill and Bakari Burns are hosting the conversation to engage more with the community. They wanted to hear concerns from community leaders, activists and concerned citizens about race relations and how to better bridge the gap.“After the protest, what’s next, and we want to make sure the what’s next is all inclusive,” Hill said. “We want to get the input from the community on how we as a community moves forward,” Burns.
