Network is holding its second panel discussion on the impact of race relations
in Frederick County.
The event will be held
from 2 to 6 p.m. Saturday, March 21, at Dublin Roasters Coffee, 1780 N. Market
St., in Frederick.
Anastasia Rosen-Jones,
the network's executive director, said the event will touch on the recent
tensions between police and the African-American community in Ferguson and New
York, along with the racist rants led by two members of the University of
Oklahoma's Alpha Epsilon fraternity.
"It will be session
number two out of five that are planned," Rosen-Jones said. "We did
the first in January. We will be doing it from here forth, once a month through
June at the Dublin Roasters on Market Street."
Rosen-Jones said race
relations in Frederick County will be the centerpiece of the discussion.
"How could it not be important, after what happened in Ferguson with the young man, the young black man, killed and all that came out of that when the officer was not indicted," she said.
