Healing Relationships between Law Enforcement and Communities of Color

A Livestreamed Plenary Panel at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s America Healing Conference

 

In light of recent events in Baltimore, Ferguson and cities around the country, there is an elevated level of distrust between many communities and police departments. Trust between law enforcement and the people they serve is integral to creating safe places where children and families can thrive. Hear from civil rights and social justice leaders about racial healing after Ferguson, how to move forward to prevent future crises and specifically ideas for rebuilding relationships between law enforcement and communities of color.
