After a series of unflattering headlines and “threats from white supremacists,” the organizers of a music and arts festival in Detroit, AfroFuture Fest, have reversed course on their plan to charge double to white attendees — but they’ve also added a strongly suggested donation from “nonPOC” attendees.
“For the safety of our community, family, elders who received threats from white supremacists,& youth who were subjected to seeing racist comments on our IG pg,Afrofuture Fest has changed our ticketing model to $20 General Admission & suggested donation for nonPOC on @eventbrite,” the group behind the event, AfroFuture Youth, tweeted Sunday.
