This Monday, please join me at a forum to discuss current race relations in America. Recent killings across the country have shown again that we have racial tension and gulfs in our understanding of each other and we must use this moment as a jumping off point to a broad conversation on race as well as groups driving the national discussion such as Black Lives Matter. These can only be understood and improved though sustained and open dialogue. We must move forward together to prevent any further acts of senseless violence.
WHEN: Monday, July 25, 2016
WHERE: Darien Public Library
1441 Post Road
Darien, CT 06820
PANELISTS:
- Congressman Jim Himes (CT-04)
- Dr. Anthony L. Bennett, Head Pastor of Mount Aery Baptist Church and President of C.O.N.E.C.T
- Rev. Cass Shaw, Council of Churches of Greater Bridgeport
- Tenisi Davis
- Duanecia Evans
- Deputy Chief Gonzalez, Norwalk Police Department
I hope you will join me for this important discussion. We must focus on establishing strong community relationships. We have all been affected as a result of these unfortunate circumstances and I look forward to discussing all possible solutions.
