2018-11-27 11:50 - 12:50 (America/New_York) | University of Rochester River Campus, Intercampus Dr. & Library Rd., Rochester, New York, 14611, United States
The UofR will host a Racial Equity Learning Series lecture titled Re-framing the Written and Unwritten Rules of History, Policy, and Law—Part D-E with Yvette Conyers, and Rebecca Tucker in Helen Wood Hall's Craytor and McNerney Classroom 1W-509.
Belief systems, which inform policy and law, can contribute to and perpetuate injustice. This injustice rests on unconscious and conscious beliefs about who matters in society and who does not. In order to make right what is inherently wrong, collective action is required. This learning module is based on the work of the Applied Research Center, a thirty-year-old racial justice think tank that uses media, research and activism to promote solutions. This module provides examples of how injustice is perpetuated through the media and court systems. By working with art, film clips and other activities participants will learn the importance of framing an issue with a racial equity lens and practice it.

Captain James "Mac" McQuigg is a straitlaced police officer keeping the peace on the streets of New York during Prohibition. Nick Scarsi is a major mob boss and bootlegger with a casual attitude toward violence and quick trigger finger. Mac arrests Scarsi and his men multiple times, but he can never get the charges to stick because the politicians are in the pocket of the gangsters. Still, Mac becomes enough of a nuisance that Nick gets him transferred to a district in "the sticks," where he can't do any more harm. But when Nick's little brother gets into a hit-and-run accident in Mac's precinct, conflict can't be avoided.
