"We're here to raise awareness, but also give the community a voice," Williams told FOX 2's Josh Landon backstage, "We have a lot of outsiders, including myself, talking about Flint. We'd like to pass the microphone to the people in Flint of all ages and backgrounds, to let them articulate their experiences, but also give them some relief."
