Bennett says the rally is free for all teens and that it will take place at Bethel Baptist Institutional Church. There will be skits, live music, giveaways and an appearance from Duval County Schools Superintendent Dr. Nikolai Vitti.
"We feel like there are a lot of amazing leaders in our education system here in Jacksonville that want to support our students and get them encouraged," said Bennett. "We can get them together and so that was kind of the heart behind it."
"There's going to be thousands of young people out there. What you're going to see is - you're going to see the community come together," Anthony told Channel 4.
The rally is set for Friday, April 4.
