Michael King is one to watch.

As Chairman of the Michigan Young Black Leaders Coalition and a Michigan LCY organizer, Michael represents exactly what we mean when we say Black Action. Not just talking about change, but organizing, building, showing up, and helping move a new generation of Black leadership forward.

The Michigan Black Summit is about identifying leaders who are doing the work right now and creating space for them to be seen, heard, and connected to power. Michael’s work speaks to the future of Black Michigan: young leadership, civic engagement, community organizing, and action rooted in purpose.

This is what “What’s Going On?” is all about.
Not just asking the question.
