Description

Developments in Ferguson, Missouri, after the death of Michael Brown, reveal ongoing tension in American race relations about law, housing, economic opportunity, policing and social media. Ferguson demands a conversation. As a community and an institution of education, we should be asking questions even if we don’t have all the answers.

Please join us for a panel and discussion.

Panel will include:

  •     Valerie Hart-Craig, African American Cultural Center
  •     Jeff Lorick, City of Terre Haute Human Relations Commission
  •     Lisa Decker, Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice
  •     Ashley Moore, Black Student Union
  •     Jerrell Richmond, philosophy major
  •     Ruth Fairbanks, Interdisciplinary Programs and Department of History
  •     Anthonisha Humphrey, ISU NAACP

Sponsored by Interdisciplinary Programs, the African American Cultural Center and the Department of History and African and African American Studies.
