Baltimore and Freddie Gray: Community Safe Space
Opportunity for intentional healing and supportive spaces
Location
On Campus : The Mosaic Center
Date & Time
April 30, 2015, 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Description
Like we did in the fall semester for Ferguson, the Women’s Center and Student Life’s Mosaic Center will be hosting several designated safe space sessions to talk about the recent events happening in Baltimore related to the death of Freddie Gray. These safe spaces are not intended to be open discussions or debates. Rather, these opportunities are meant to provide intentional healing and supportive space for UMBC community members to process and share their thoughts, emotions, and reactions as related to racism, institutionalized violence, and anti-Blackness.
We ask and encourage the voices and experiences of Black lives to be centered in these conversations.
The first safe space will be offered on Monday, April 27th at noon in the Women's Center. Additional dates and times for other safe spaces will be announced as needed.
