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 in 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 safe space today will be hosted in the Mosaic Center which is located on the 2nd floor of the Commons.
Additional safe spaces for next week may also be created and will be announced later.
