The town-hall, American Policing: Lessons on Resistance, is the second installment of a conversation on police brutality, racial discrimination, stop and frisk policies, and the responses of local communities regarding Michael Brown, Eric Garner and others in recent news. This discussion brings together the voices of activists and community leaders who are on the ground and responsible for organizing, mobilizing, and pushing the conversation forward these past few months. Hear from Ashley Yates, Dante Barry, Philip Agnew and Cherrell Brown as they further interrogate the socio-political climate of American policing. The conversation will be moderated by Mychal Denzel Smith, Nation contributing writer and blogger.
