Urban One and Chevrolet continue their partnership, using their resources and platforms to create positive social and economic impact within Black communities across America. The second year of partnership creates space for conversation to be both held and heard to enable actionable change resulting in true progress. One Solution, the award-winning division of Urban One, and Chevrolet launch a new cross-platform campaign, Real Talk Drives Real Change, bringing imperative conversations to the forefront with a four-market tour.

Pop culture and political commentator Mike Muse is hosting the multi-market Real Talk Drives Real Change tour, which brings conversations on racial disparities to the forefront.

The four-market tour rotates high-profile guests, thought leaders, and cultural icons discussing zeitgeist-shaping moments within Black culture, from historical and modern racial tensions to academic and corporate achievements in the business sector. The live tour of panel discussions are free ticketed to the public and are also being streamed on Change.NewsOne.com.
