On Day 15 of BHM we salute
Will "DJ Will" McMillian

DJ will is someone I've watched grow from a childhood peer with aspirations, into a music staple and community leader. As early as 13 Will was dedicating his spare time and money into his music. While many dabbled in music recording/engineering Will was one of the few to fully invest and take his craft seriously. He became one of the first teenage artists of Evergreen, AL to have his own ringtone during the era. During highschool he would go on to host parties, produce many of the local artists and headline multiple proms including his own. Currently he is still hosting parties and engineering artists, and has expanded his skillset to videos, and photography. Will is an influence to many artists/producers of Conecuh County and the surrounding area. DJ will is an example of dedication, self investment, and time he is

On day 5 of BHM we salute Jasmine Twitty.

College of Charleston graduate Jasmine Twitty has been an American associate judge for the Easley, South Carolina municipal court since 2015. She was only 25 at the time making her the youngest to be elected in U.S. History. Even more so, she’s a founding member of LeadHER. LeadHER is a professional development group for women. All of that and she still finds time to volunteer at the Urban League of the Upstate. If that isn’t we’re not sure what is.

On the 4th day of Black History Month we salute Ralph Abernathy

Rev. Ralph Abernathy was a key figure in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and beyond. As the young pastor of First Baptist Church in Montgomery, AL, he and Martin Luther King, Jr. were among the leaders of the 1955-56 Montgomery Bus Boycott organized in response to the arrest of Rosa Parks.

In 1961, Abernathy's First Baptist Church was the site of the May 21 "siege" where an angry mob of white segregationists surrounded 1,500 people inside the sanctuary.

On May 25, Abernathy was arrested on breach of peace charges after escorting William Sloane Coffin's Connecticut Freedom Ride to the Montgomery Greyhound Bus Terminal, neither the first nor the last instance of civil disobedience in a lifetime of activism.

After Dr. King's assassination on April 4, 1968, Abernathy took up the leadership of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) Poor People's Campaign and led the 1968 March on Washington. Ralph Abernathy died in 1990. Another key figure in Black history 💫

On Day 1 of BHM, we salute Ms. Angelita Brooks.
