Much of the nation’s attention is currently focused on how police departments interact with their communities, and particularly with residents of color. In response to recent events, ACMi hosts an

Race Matters

 

Three panelists representing a variety of perspectives will lead an in-depth discussion that will address these and other questions:

What is the significance for Arlington residents of the grand jury decisions in Missouri and New York?

 

How can we best ensure that our community draws lessons of value from the tragic episodes that have triggered this national conversation?

 

Date: Thursday, January 8

Time: 7:00-8:00 pm

Site: ACMi Studio A at 85 Park Ave, 781-777-1115
