RBG is a collective of Black urban cyclists improving the health, economy & local environment of African Americans by creating a relevant & sustainable Black bike culture. This RBG ride is narrated by Mr. L. Anton Seals, Jr., taking us on a ride along his personal journey detailing the impact of social justice in Black Chicago. A qualified social justice activist, Anton is a leader of the new school, fighting for voices that are often relegated to the sidelines of change. He is dedicated to service and active engagement through the use of media arts, community organizing and economic empowerment.
