The murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd ignited a community response not seen since the Civil Rights Movement. Not only did their deaths highlight inequities in policing, but also illustrated the daily challenges faced in our black communities.
In response, the Triangle Iotas launched a multi-tiered initiative to initiate projects to enhance black communities across the Triangle.
