We Are All Criminals: Criminal Records, Criminality, and Second Chances?

May 31, 2017

Wednesday, May 31, 2-3 PM ET

We Are All Criminals is a catalyst for conversations about crime, privilege, punishment, and second chances.

One in four people in the US has a criminal record; four in four have a criminal history. Through stories, statutes, and statistics, we’ll examine the disparate impact of the criminal and juvenile justice systems on people of color and poor people across the country. The presentation will include first-person narratives and photographs.
