Stark County Holds Peace Rally for Justice

On June 1, 2020, the Brothers of Kappa Tau participated in the Stark County Peace Rally for Justice in Canton, Ohio.  The event, sponsored by A Coalition of African Americans, was focused on educating the community about social injustice and prompting action for change in the wake of Mr. George Floyd's murder.

The rally was vastly successful as more than 100 citizens attended, and more than a dozen were registered to vote.  The National Pan-Hellenic Council members, commonly known as the Divine Nine, were called up to be recognized as community advocates.  During this time, Bro. Skyler Parks and several Stark County Alumnae Chapter members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. had an opportunity to speak to the crowd.  They challenged everyone to remain dedicated when it is time to work.

Bro. Parks exemplified true Omega spirit and uplift with his words and all the other Brothers who were present.  In attendance was Kappa Tau Basileus Bro. Casey Smith, Bro. Rev. Dr. Eric Johnson of Mt Calvary 2nd Missionary Baptist Church, Bro. Rev. Eric Howard of Mt Olive Baptist Church, Bro. Sean Strong, Bro. Jamar Fleming, and Bro. Rikwon Moore.

Kappa Tau will continue to advance as a prominent figure for social justice and change in the Stark County community.
