Racial profiling is an all too common reality in today’s society. This
event will include a partial screening of Black and Blue: Legends of the
Hip Hop Cop, a film aired on BET about police racial profiling of the
hip-hop community featuring 50 Cent, Damon Dash, Fabolous, Ice-T, Big
Tigger and others. Participants will examine the issue of racial
profiling, share personal stories, learn their constitutional rights and
find out what to do when stopped by law enforcement officers. King
Downing, the National Coordinator of the ACLU's Campaign Against Racial
Profiling will be our special guest.
Sponsored by the Muhammad Ali Institute for P
