This is the most moving, educational classroom presentation I have seen from a law school on this platform. I have been studying law school professors in the classrooms of some of the most prestigious institutions, and find this one to be the most compelling. I am proud that American law schools, particularly U of V School of Law, are doing their part to bring awareness to students who will be our next prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges. Thank you😢

This is a great discussion! This was not only informative, but also I can relate. Keep up these discussions. The idea is to keep talking and keep the discussion current. It is time to move from discussion to being uncomfortable and to finally move forward to a place of comfort. It is okay to understand each other as fellow Human Beings first and then as Citizens of these United States. We need to see each other.

Verbal lynching. They already know your experience. You should be asking the questions!
