The next Think & Drink at Naked City Brewery is at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 27. It continues the fall series discussion of race with “Black and Blue: A Conversation on Policing and Race.”
It will be moderated by Phyllis Fletcher, managing editor of Northwest News Network. Speakers include: Megan Ming Francis, assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Washington and author of “Civil Rights and the Making of the Modern American State”; and Sergeant Sean Whitcomb, Public Affairs Director at the Seattle Police Department.
In the wake of tragedies that happened in Ferguson, NYC, and Baltimore, and others, this event will spark a conversation about the frequency with which such tragedies happen, the disparity between how different minority groups are policed, and what effective policing and community relationships should look like.
This is Humanities Washington’s fifth year of Think & Drink events, which include a moderated panel discussion with audience questions and comments. Events are free but participants buy their own drinks and food. Naked City Brewery is at 8564 Greenwood Ave. N.
