Courageous Conversation Toward Racial Justice and the Milton Interfaith Clergy Association are organizing the event that is scheduled to start with the stand of solidarity at 6, taking a knee as the person next to you takes a knee (creating a wave) at 6:15, a contemplative silence at 6:24 and dispersal at 6:30.

Participants are asked to stand socially distanced on sidewalks or on the median wearing a face covering, or stay in your car on either side of the parkway.

Signs and chalk art are encouraged.
