New!  FACULTY RESOURCES New!

♦ Submitted by Ron Holland.  I wanted to share a link shared with me by one of our colleagues, David Lopez-Kopp.  These conversations reflect the many talks African-American (including me) and Latinos have to have with their children on a continual basis regarding interactions with police officers. I remember the first conversation I had with my son about this.  On Love, Ron  see –  Youtube video
