Policing in Communities of Color

Attorney and former state representative and state senator Penfield Tate will moderate a public conversation with Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition Deputy Director Juston Cooper, former Independent Monitor of the Denver Police and Sheriff Departments Nicholas Mitchell, civil rights attorney Qusair Mohamedbhai, and former Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson. The conversation includes live Q & A with online participants.We talk about the past, present, and future issues surrounding policing and public safety in communities of color, and explore how to work together to enhance public safety.   Colorado Humanities produced the Changing the Legacy of Race and Ethnicity series of panel discussions for individuals who want to find their own ways to contribute to the fight for justice and human rights. Each panel brings diversity in thought and conversation with community experts.    We’d like to thank our partners, including the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Colorado Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and local sponsors GroundFloor Media, Center Table, Durango Herald, Tate Law, and Arapahoe Libraries.
