Public Newsroom 120: How Do We Envision Justice?

6:00 pm — 8:00 pm

What do we mean when we ask for and envision justice? Created and facilitated by Illinois Humanities, Envisioning Justice is an ongoing initiative that engages Chicagoans in a citywide conversation about the impact of incarceration in local communities and invites residents to use the arts and humanities to imagine alternatives.

This City Bureau Public Newsroom features a conversation with BBF Family Services, a North Lawndale-based organization that has served as one of seven “Community Hub” partners throughout Envisioning Justice and that focuses specifically on the re-entry process for people returning from incarceration. Dominique Steward of BBF Family Services and Gabe Lyon of Illinois Humanities will lead a facilitated conversation about the role of the public humanities within communities welcoming returning citizens.
