Yet, to truly understand Everett’s passion for creating BLKMKT™ one must know from whom his views were formed. His grandfather, Dr. George D. Kelsey, influenced Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., greatly during the Civil Rights Movement. Everett hopes BLKMKT™ will have a similar impact when BLKMKT™ begins producing its own content. With a new age comes new methods and technology to transmit the spirit of Dr. Kelsey’s views on equality, while maintaining his Code of Ethics, to maintain Integrity, and Unity. Everett founded BLKMKT™ Media in 2020; a new interactive streaming platform dedicated to aggregating, and producing content of the Black experience, by people of African American, and Afro-Latin American decent. Through BLKMKT™, Dr. Kelsey's legacy to enrich humanity through thought provoking storytelling will live on. Everett Kelsey is utilizing his grandfather's teachings, with what he has learned over his lifetime to create this platform, which is designed to enrich society with original high quality content long after we are all gone.
