The event, an initiative of the New Hampshire Center for Justice and Equity (NHCJE), had three objectives, according to Anthony Poore, the center’s president: “to gather, discuss, and understand ‘how’ and ‘why’ incidents like this continue to happen across the United States; discuss what can be done, from a practice and policy perspective, to ensure an incident like Memphis, Tenn., never happens in New Hampshire; and aid in New Hampshire’s communities of color’s collective healing.”
The Community Conversation, produced in association with NHPR and NH PBS, was held March 6 at the UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law’s Warren B. Rudman Center for Justice, Leadership & Public Service in Concord.
An hour-long version of the program will air on NHPR and stream on NHPR.org on Friday, March 31 at 1 p.m. and again on Saturday, April 1 at 1 p.m.
