The structure is fine but everything is disconnected and doesn’t make much sense unfortunately. What does the black rights activist have to do with the ant-violence summit? And by taking him down how will it save a town? Why is he making the town hell if he just wants black rights and in 2016 will an audience accept a protagonist trying to take down someone who JUST wants equal rights — I know I wouldn’t. Hope this helps.
Agreed with Moses99.
In addition there seems to be a lack of personal stakes, can you add a stakes character perhaps to tie the action of stopping violence to the MC?
I would also change the verb “?tries?” with “?must?”, the action gains a sense of urgency this way.
