Class Description
Finding a Path Forward: Justice for all? Racial Disparity in our Justice System
As a nation, we pledge allegiance to this republic…with “Justice for All.” But do we honor that pledge when it comes to race? This class will explore that question. We’ll examine current policing in Louisville and the appointment of a new police chief. We will look, too, at the shamefully high rates of incarceration for Black people and why they occur--as well as prevention and reentry programs. The course will also include time for deep reflection and discussion. As always, our classes will be led by Black leaders with direct knowledge of the issues, and as always, we’ll work to understand what we can do to support a fairer, more equitable city.
