Confronting Institutional Racism: A Public Health Priority – Panel Discussion
When: Thursday, February 21st
Where: Health Sciences, T-739
More than two million people, disproportionate numbers of them
Black and Hispanic, are locked up in America’s prisons, giving the U.S. a
staggering incarceration rate of 750 per 100,000 people.
Join distinguished guests from the Department of Corrections,
the City of Seattle, the NAACP and Seattle’s No New Jim Crow Campaign-Coalition
for an eye-opening discussion of the intersections between mass incarceration,
racism and public health. Michael Ramos, director or the Church Council
of Greater Seattle’s Social Justice Ministries, will moderate.
