The 38-year-old reality star of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” is the granddaughter of civil rights leader and activist Hosea Williams.
In the wake of George Floyd’s death and the recent Black Lives Matter protests, she joined Bravo host Andy Cohen on the Monday, June 8 “Watch What Happens Live” segment, and reflected on the bigotry she encountered while protesting alongside her grandfather.
Her grandfather, famed civil rights leader Rev. Hosea Williams — then an Atlanta City Council member — marched with a group of protesters near Cumming, Georgia.
So of course after that there was a conversation with my dad when I got home to let me know that some people do hate you, even though you may be trying to do a good thing, Williams recalled from the conversation with her father.
On June 1, Williams and her fiancé Dennis McKinley protested in downtown Atlanta to take action against police brutality and systemic racism.
