What can we learn from the 2015 unrest in Baltimore, and how can we use that to move forward in the Black Lives Matter Movement, which at its core is a movement for basic human rights? Following a performance of Keith A. Wallace's The Bitter Game, Baltimore activists lead a round table discussion designed to put the community at the center of the movement for change.
Panelists:

Moderated by Sam Sessa, Baltimore music coordinator and host of the Baltimore Hit Parade on WTMD radio, and featuring a performance by The Radiographers.

Many of us are not aware of the laws that govern our interactions with police. Do they always have the right to search us and/or our possessions? Must we follow all directions? And should we - even if we feel we are in danger?
In this interactive workshop, lawyer and UMD alumnus Gregory Yancey seeks to answer these questions and increase the chances that we come out of any police interactions with our physical and emotional health intact, and that our rights were respected along the way.
From time to time in each of our lives, we face truculent choices, the consequences dire no matter what we choose. How may we discern what is right for us, and how may we face their consequences? Sophocles’ ancient drama brings us back to the conundrums of choice and consequence each of us faces in our quite different journeys.
