Thousands of Black activists from across the U.S. will hold the 2020 Black National Convention on Aug. 28, 2020, via livestream to produce a new political agenda that builds on the protests that followed George Floyd’s death. Organizers of the gathering shared their plans with The Associated Press on Wednesday, July 1, ahead of an official announcement.

Callie Crossley, host of WGBH News’ Under The Radar spoke with Boston Public Radio on Friday about Rob Bliss, a white man who was harassed for holding a "Black Lives Matter" sign in Harrison, Ark., a town known for its history of white supremacy and KKK affiliations.

"You will note that sometimes the people opposed to [racial justice] protesters aim their anger more fiercely at the protestors who are not of color, because they feel like they're betraying something," Crossley said.
