0:00.0	This is Karen Hunter and welcome to the hub. So yesterday was Marcus Garvey Day and I want to say thank you to everyone that
0:17.5	signed the petition but I also want to point some things out so the petition got I think more than a
0:26.0	hundred thousand views and less than five thousand signatures that math ain't mathin for me and so I'm just I'm trying to make sense of it.
0:38.0	How does it get a hundred thousand views in less than 5,000 signatures? I'm confused by that. So what I'm going to ask everyone listening to
0:46.2	my voice to double down if you got an extra email address go and sign the thing again.

1:57.0	I think Roy Wood Jr. today is going to be posting,
2:00.0	and Rex Chapman,

2:08.0	but he's also, you know, an Aye.
2:10.0	It would be nice to not just have melanated faces with the message, you know,
2:16.8	Marcus Garvey Day in part in Garvey. So he posted on his social media,
2:22.4	it has more than 2 million followers, and got a lot of backlash.
