March 31, 12:00 PM: In Focus: A Trial and Minnesota’s Search for Equity and Healing
Minnesota will be back in the spotlight during the trial, but this is only part of the story. Floyd’s killing last May also led to renewed efforts toward racial equity—in neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, businesses and many other institutions. How are we doing on our path toward racial equity? How are Black people, Indigenous people, people of color and their white counterparts navigating conversations about the trial and its broader implications for racial justice in a state known for its persistent racial disparities?
Join TCDIP and MPR on March 31 at noon, as host Angela Davis will lead the next In Focus conversation on how we as Minnesotans are experiencing the trial and how we can move forward as neighbors.
Register today for the In Focus program on March 31
