Appointed by Missouri’s governor in 2014, the Ferguson Commission made recommendations to help the region address issues exposed by Michael Brown’s death – including changes in policing, the courts, child well-being and economic mobility.

Karen Toering of Social Justice Fund Northwest will moderate a discussion and audience Q&A with Rev. Wilson. Discussion topics will include the role of the media in shaping conversations about race, and how to engage diverse community voices when working towards equity and equitable outcomes for all.
