Atlanta, GA. July 12, 2016. Legal experts and community leaders - including the Reverend Jesse Jackson - share potentially life-saving communication and behavioral tactics at a town hall forum entitled "Know Your Rights - Save Your Life."

The town hall was presented by Atlanta radio stations, V-103 and WAOK at Hillside International Truth Center, Inc., - Bishop Dr. Barbara L. King, Founder Minister. The auditorium was packed with hundreds of people from across metro Atlanta seeking information on how to avoid becoming the next victim of a police shooting.

The radio stations' on-air personalities including Ryan Cameron, Derrick Boazman, Big Tigger, Frank Ski and more moderated the evening's conversations which focused largely on what to do and say if you are stopped by law enforcement officers for any reason. See the video on the Hillside International Truth Center's YouTube channel.
