Kwami and Clarice Abdul-Bey, based in Pulaski County, are co-coveners of the Arkansas Peace and Justice Memorial Movement to document and mark where racial terror, lynchings and riots have occurred across Arkansas.  Founded in 2018 APJMM embodies a statewide collaborative effort to acknowledge, and to learn from, our shared documented history of hundreds of incidents of extra-legal racial, political and religious violence and injustices. Clarice and Kwami bring a wealth of knowledge through their organization as well as with PHAT LIP Youth Talk Radio, Duafe Unity, Washitaw Foothills Youth Media Arts a Literacy Collective  and The Shelter In-Place Virtual film Series all of which educate and empower the people. They believe that instead of trying to "give our youth a voice," to work with youth to provide the resources and tools necessary to harness, and then express, the innate power within their own voices. Kwami and Clarice Abdul-Bey are music lovers as well so check them out as Baba a Iya Cratediggers on their acclaimed radio show “Jadestone Vintage Soul” which airs on KABF 88.3 FM Community Radio every Tuesday afternoon from 2-3 PM CST. #History #BlackHistory
