One of Ron Lackey’s earliest memories is of the KKK burning a cross in his yard. Lackey, a worship leader at Legacy Christian Church, shared the story during the “I Am George Floyd” DocuSeries Live Interactive Panel Discussion held by the Advocacy and Awareness Group of Johnson County. Six panelists discussed fighting systemic racism and being Black men in Johnson County during a Tuesday night event. During the panel, they took on topics including racism, police accountability, their personal interactions with police and what has changed after the death of George Floyd, a Black man who died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
