KALAMAZOO (WKZO) — Given the events in Ferguson and across the country in the past few months, The Lewis Walker Institute for Race and Social Justice will be launching a series of community forums on Unequal Justice: Race, Class and the Criminal Justice System this spring.
The first speaker Monday night will be Yale Law Clinical Professor James Forman Jr. He feels that the issues of mass incarceration and education are the principal civil rights challenges we face and should be at the center of a civil rights agenda for the 21st Century.
His address is titled, “Less Prison, More College” and it begins at 7 p.m. at the Fetzer Center.
There will be a reception at 6:30.
Seating for the event, which is limited, can be reserved at http://www.wmich.edu/walkerinstitute
