At an event Sunday at the Apollo Theater celebrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,WNYC asked the public to share thoughts on race relations and cultural identity in just six words through our TalkBox community engagement tool. Some gave us phrases; others just words.
Christina Finch from Brooklyn said: "Inconsistent. Endangered. Emotional. Taboo. Global. And essential."And Liz Cuadrado said: "Differences. Uncomfortable. Equality. alarm. Tolerance. Acceptance."We also asked the public to share their 6-worded thoughts on Twitter:@ApolloTheater#wnycmlkJanuary 18, 2016
