It was yet another murder of a Black person in a police interaction. Rayshard Brooks, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Philando Castile, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, Freddie Gray, Walter Scott, and countless other people going back decades and centuries. We are faciltating a difficult but necessary conversation about the depth and breadth of racial and social inequity in America, and how public systems can and must transform in order to solve these problems. This subject is not only important for the discipline of public policy and administration, it is a moral imperative that affects peoples’ lives. Pi Alpha Alpha Kean University and Rutgers-New Brunswick Chapters have partnered to organize a moderated discussion about Anti-Racism in Public Administration.
