Description
Please join the Gibson-Banks Center for Race and the Law at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law (Maryland Carey Law) and the Campaign for Justice Safety and Jobs for an event commemorating the 10th anniversary of the police-involved death of Freddie Gray. On April 12, 2015, Baltimore police officers arrested Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old Black man, who sustained fatal injuries throughout the process of his arrest. Gray’s death sparked weeks of unrest in Baltimore; a federal investigative report, which found that the Baltimore Police Department engaged in a pattern of unconstitutional and racially discriminatory policing and led to a federal court consent decree; and ongoing advocacy for police accountability. Still Rising 10 Years After Freddie Gray’s Death will include conversations with community advocates, clergy and attorneys who worked to hear and respond to Baltimore residents’ demand for fair and accountable policing. William H. “Billy” Murphy, Jr. '69, who served as the attorney for Freddie Gray’s family, will be a featured speaker. There will be panel discussions reflecting on federal, state, and local advocacy for fair and accountable policing in Baltimore, lessons learned, and the work ahead.
