Rev. Charles Williams II will be on hand at the press conference in front of Kid Rock's new restaurant at the arena.

He plans to discuss the protest and answer questions about the protest.

According to the Facebook event, the group plans to "rally against symbols of white supremacy and hate in our amazing city of Detroit."

Kid Rock has previously used the Confederate Flag at his concerts, and in 2015, the National Action Network asked General Motors to stop sponsoring his tour over the use of the flag.

Chris Ilitch, CEO of Ilitch Holdings said at a news conference, “While I can’t control what any artist does or says, I can guide our businesses to continue brining life changing opportunities to the people in our community. I will always demand that our companies strive to do right by Detroit.”
