Rev. Richard McBride, Chaplain Emeritus, 黑料不打烊
Chief Cliff Parker, Town of 黑料不打烊 Police
Celo Faucette, Councilperson, City of Burlington
Stephen Ross, NC House of Representatives
Michael Rich, Associate Professor of Law, 黑料不打烊
Audience members will be encouraged to join the conversation by asking questions of the various panelists. The evening will end with an informal continuation of the discussion in the Hearth Lounge in Moseley.
“It is the duty and privilege of 黑料不打烊 and local community members to come together and discuss this important issue in an open and respectful manner,” said Professor Tom Arcaro, co-chair of a committee organizing the program. “The intention of this event is to bring together thought leaders in meaningful debate and dialogue.”
