Part III, “Restorative Justice,” will take place at 6:00 p.m. at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, 515 Malcolm X Boulevard.
The final forum in this compelling, informative series will take place at the historic Schomburg Center. The program will bring together participants from Parts I and II into the same room to explore restorative justice and advocacy. This segment harnesses the pastoral skills of faith leaders and faith-based organizations to encourage transformative and intergenerational healing. After participating in restorative justice practices (e.g., healing circle), attendees will reflect which parts of their practices (and theology, if applicable) are “roadblocks” and “resources” to better understand and transform the trauma in their community into renewed energy.
Speakers: Anooj Bhandari (Restorative Justice Initiative), Markie Bledsoe-Grant (NYS Division of Human Rights), Joan Pangilinan-Taylor (NYS Division of Human Rights)
