Due to logistical challenges and the possibility of inclement weather, we have regrettably canceled the Boone stop of the march. We remain committed to staying connected with the Watauga County community beyond the march. We invite you to stay engaged with the Beloved Community Center for updates, including our NCTJRC Summit ’24 taking place from November 17-20, 2024. Thank you to our community partners for being an integral part of this journey. Together, we are making strides toward a future where unity and justice are tangible realities for all.
