Black males and incarceration the subject of ‘Saturday Talk’
Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC held its monthly Saturday forum on Black Male Incarceration on Saturday, April 18, 2015 at the Center Street Library. The speakers focused on discrimination, disenfranchisement, break-up of families and misgivings of truth in sentencing. It was noted at the forum, Wisconsin has the highest black male incarceration population in the United States. Mary Glass, a community activist and businesswoman, assembled four community leaders to share information about the incarceration problem, which has plagued Milwaukee’s central city. Presenters included: La’Frisko Lewis, UW-Milwaukee student; Solana Patterson-Ramos, political and community advocate; C. Terrance Anderson, Planner, Southeastern WI Regional Planning Commission and Brad Tenin, Admission Officer at Bryant Stratton College.
