Seeking ideas for ending violence between police and people of color, the local chapter of Links, an international society for women of color, invited a scholar, a lawmaker, a police chief and a state trooper to speak from their experience at a virtual forum Thursday night.
As the panelists called out stereotypes, lies, assumptions and faulty logic, solutions started to emerge.
In opening the forum, “Blue in Black and Brown Communities: Policing and People of Color,” Marilyn Mathews, a committee chairwoman in the local chapter, Greater Providence RI Links Inc., mentioned that U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris is a fellow member of Links, an organization founded in 1946.
