Welcome.

Ebony Guy is a native of Halifax County, Virginia, and has been involved with community activism for 19 years. Her work includes voter registration, political campaigns, consulting and organizing social projects.

She is a resident of Danville, Virginia and serves as a community leader and representative with the non-profit organization Virginia Organizing. One of the campaigns Ms. Guy champions, “Black Lives Matter”, is a major focus of the local chapter, which works with area officials to ensure transparency and accountability within Danville's law enforcement agency.

Shakeva Frazier is the Founder of Kick it with JESUS, a non-profit outreach ministry that caters to those struggling to overcome harmful addictions. The organization also specializes in prison ministry, youth advocacy and helping all men and women with sustainability in the Danville community. 

The activists join me to correct some of the media reports about why they challenged a directive that had been issued by the Danville Police Department. They will also reveal why the city’s police officers were lifting the hoods of their patrol cars during traffic stops, which obstructed the view of the dash cams.

The interview was conducted on October 5.
