Nearly one week after a gunman killed three Black people in New Town, National civil rights leader Al Sharpton, the family of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, and the Anti-Defamation League announced plans Monday to bring a hate crime summit to Jacksonville. The shooting is continuing to gain national attention as the Department of Justice is investigating it as a hate crime. Every Friday, Wells Todd, Take Em Down Jax spokesperson, and about a dozen others picket to protest against Confederate monuments in Jacksonville.
