“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 and chairwoman Cathy Hughes in a statement.

“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.”

The one-hour virtual town hall will stream live on the digital platforms across the Urban One brands, including Radio One, Reach Media, TV One, and iOne Digital.
