Run Black & Green (RBG) is kicking off its second season of free community wellness events, bringing together movement, conversation, and community building at locations throughout Milwaukee from May through October.
The season begins with the 2nd Annual Move Like Malcolm Wellness Event on Saturday, May 23, at Havenwoods State Forest. Participants are invited to join a group walk or run, meditation, food, and discussion centered on Malcolm X’s legacy and community wellness.
