Anti-Violence Panel Discussion | Tue 9.15.15 | The New School - More Than A Protest Novel: Connecting the Dots
Please join us for the upcoming event, “More Than a Protest Novel: Connecting the Dots - 1.5 Million Black (Wo)Men Missing,” a thought-provoking anti-violence panel.
Co-hosted by Black Ivy Events; the Harlem Alphas of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.; and New Black School (student group), it will take place on Tuesday, September 15, 2015 from 6:30 – 9:30 p.m. at The New School’s Lang Center: 55 West 13th Street, off Avenue of the Americas (6th Avenue).
This FREE event will take a look at personal experiences with violence; the current anti-violence space; real stats on homicide rates; and policy initiatives and new/innovative solutions to address the violence (including prayer).
It will also examine public policy and connect the dots with recent events like the deaths of Freddie Gray and Sandra Bland, and the Charleston Massacre.

• Iesha Sekou, founder of Street Corner Resources, Harlem

• Justyn Richardson, a recent alum of The New School's Milano Urban Policy graduate program, and a policy analyst for the NYC Department of Investigation
• Petra E. Lewis, author of the trilogy, The Sons and Daughters of Ham
From moderator, Rev. Alfonso Wyatt, to featured panelists, the event will showcase some of New York City’s top minds when it comes to effectively addressing (gun) violence—and do so in a “novel” way. The framework for the panel is the first book in novelist Petra E. Lewis’ trilogy, The Sons and Daughters of Ham, Book I: A Requiem, which examines a family in the aftermath of violence.
