DeRay McKesson, civil rights activist and frequent public face of the Black Lives Matter movement, spoke to attendees of Forbes’ 2016 Under 30 Summit in Boston about racial justice and political activism. In a conversation moderated by Adam Foss, founder of legal nonprofit Prosecutor Integrity, McKesson touched on an array of topics ranging from the growth of BLM to the national anthem protests spearheaded by NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. McKesson’s message still rings true nearly five years later as tensions escalate across the United States.
