Description:

In-person livestream of the OLLI Northwestern lecture sponsored by Northwestern University’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI).

School should be the pathway to a bright future.  But for many children it is an inequitable pipeline to the criminal justice system. Black children are 2.5 times more likely to be arrested than white children. Join us for an important discussion on what this does to our communities and what we can do to change it. 

Speakers:

Dr. Nneka Jones Tapia, the first psychologist to head the Cook County Jail, and Managing Director for Justice Initiatives at Chicago Beyond

Patrick Keenan-Devlin, Executive Director of the Moran Center for Juvenile Advocacy
