Hounsou caught up with Kiss Richmond’s King Tutt to break down the symbolism behind 16.19, why Richmond was the perfect location for a movement like this and more. Check out the interview below.
Through their running/walking courses of 16.19K and 6.19K and a community-powered finish festival we commemorate the sacrifices & achievements our African American brothers and sisters have made to our nation and celebrate Unity in Diversity in an intentional effort to bring people together to connect, heal and reconcile. It is powered by over 20 nonprofit partners.
