Critical Conversations: The Pandemic, One Year Later - George Floyd, Race and Policing
Thursday, September 9, 2021 6pm
About this Event
It’s been a year and three months since George Floyd was murdered by the Minneapolis police, sparking nationwide protests over the destructive and often deadly violence too often inflicted with impunity upon minoritized communities by the police officers charged to serve and protect them. Communities openly debated how to root out racist police practices and achieve just policing. Join us as we welcome a panel of scholars and activists to reflect and discuss police reform and defunding efforts locally and nationally.
Panelists include: Brandon Blankenship, Former Police Chief Annetta Nunn, and Andrew Baer
