Wendi Thomas' Story
From freelancers and $3,000 to more than 15 full-time employees and a $2M+ budget, MLK50 has come a long way since it began as an idea in my head and launched as a newsroom in April 2017.
I'm so proud of what this Black-founded, Black-led newsroom has achieved so far and excited about what's ahead. You won't find this kind of reporting anywhere else.
Will you support this essential work with a donation today?
