5:45 PM - 7:15 PM EDT POSTPONED: Seeing Us, and Hearing Our Voices: A Criminal Justice Conversation with Yusef Salaam and John Legend

Due to an unavoidable and sudden change of plans, we are postponing this event. We apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to rescheduling the conversation.

The Quattrone Center is excited to announce a conversation with world-famous recording artist and criminal justice reform advocate John Legend and member of the Exonerated Five (formerly the Central Park Five), Dr. Yusef Salaam.

They will be discussing new directions in criminal justice reform and how their reform efforts reflect this summer’s dramatic shift in national focus towards racial justice.

1:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT Criminal Justice Reform and Forensics: The Importance of Evidence
In the wake of the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and countless others, calls for widespread reform of America’s criminal justice system have reached a deafening pitch.
Understandably, much of the conversation has focused on policing. But the criminal justice system encompasses much more than just law enforcement. As the nation once again turns its attention to the systemic biases in the system and how to fix it, we will discuss how to improve the quality of one part of the system that must be objective: physical evidence in criminal cases.
