Q&A: Connie Rice - author, Power Concedes Nothing
from Free Forum with Terrence McNally · host Terrence McNally
Aired 04/01/12Too often problems are not solved, solutions are not found or implemented, and money, lives and moments of opportunity are wasted.CONNIE RICE has taken on school and bus systems, Death Row, the states of Mississippi and California, and the LAPD - and won. Not just in court but also on the streets and in prisons, where she has spearheaded campaigns to reduce gang violence. She has long been dedicated, in her words, to finishing what Martin Luther King Jr started, and she pursues that aim with a focused passion, intelligence, and commitment. Too often we oppose each other rather than looking for every opportunity to align to solve a problem. Rice sues a model of law enforcement that dominated Los Angeles for decades. In response, the model begins to shift. She then works with -- and finally -- within LA Law Enforcement. The model shifts some more. Such movement calls for the right sequence of opposition and cooperation, the strategic use of the tools available, and the ability of both sides to shift from litigation to collaboration. http://advancementproject.orghttp://powerconcedesnothing.com
