• Urban One, Inc. will hold a virtual town hall tomorrow to discuss the current political and racial climate plaguing the African American community — We Are One: More Than A Hashtag is scheduled for Thursday, June 4 at 8pm ET. The one-hour virtual town hall will stream live on the digital platforms across Urban One brands Radio One, Reach Media, TV One and iOne Digital.

The town hall will be moderated by Sybil Wilkes, former co-host of the Reach Media-syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show, and feature panelists that include NAACP President & CEO Derrick Johnson; National Urban League President Marc Morial; Political analyst and former South Carolina lawmaker Bakari Sellers; CURLS Founder & CEO Mahisha Dellinger; Reach Media personalities Russ Parr, Erica Campbell, Angie Ange (The Morning Hustle), Rickey Smiley, Willie Moore, Jr., and Rev. Gayle Fisher-Stewart, a former DC police officer and current associate rector of Calvary Episcopal Church and founder of the Center for the Study of Faith in Justice; and more panelists TBA.

“We grieve with the Floyd family over the tragic murder of George Floyd and stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters who demonstrate and cry out for justice, which is long overdue,” said Urban One Founder & Chairwoman Cathy Hughes. “Urban One has always provided a forum for these kinds of discussions, and we will continue in that 40-year-old tradition. It is our responsibility to ensure that our community, especially our youth, not only have a voice but are also made aware of the tactics being used to hijack and discredit the protests to shift the narrative and support a sinister political agenda.”
