“Champion for Justice – Leading the Fight for the Formerly Incarcerated”: Civil rights activist Susan Burton will talk about getting back on track after her release from prison, and starting the nonprofit A New Way of Life to provide housing and other support to formerly incarcerated women. Burton – the author of Becoming Ms. Burton and the founder of the Justice On Trial Film Festival – will also discuss issues related to Black Lives Matter and current public policy implications. The event is sponsored by the SMC Associates (smc.edu/associates), SMC Office of Community & Academic Relations, and Homegirl & Homeboy Scholars of SMC.
