Makayla Gilliam-Price '12 featured in HBO Documentary
In late July, Makayla Gilliam-Price ’12 and a few others who are featured in the HBO Documentary Baltimore Rising participated in the HBO Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, CA. Directed by The Wire actor Sonja Sohn, Baltimore Rising follows activists, police officers, community leaders and gang affiliates.
Makayla, an activist, is one of the eight key figures highlighted. The key figures in the film discuss the struggle to hold Baltimore together in the wake of Freddie Gray’s death. The documentary explores how to make change when change is hard. Makayla’s work as an activist started when she founded the youth justice organization City Bloc during high school and continued with the grassroots think-tank, Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle. Baltimore Rising is set to release on HBO in November 2017.
