Oakwood Hosts Town Hall Meeting: A Plan for Peace
|
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on July 20, 2016 On July 19, Oakwood University's Peters Media Center was the site of WAAY TV's Town Hall: A Plan for Peace, a program that sought to engage community leaders, clergy, law enforcement, activists and concerned citizens in a dialogue about being proactive instead of reactive when it comes to race relations in the community. The panel discussion was moderated by news anchors Demetria McClenton, Justin McFarland, and Bill Young from Huntsville's ABC affiliate station. Panel members included (l-r) Dr. Leslie Pollard, president of Oakwood University; Kirk Giles, deputy chief of police in Huntsville; Nate Allen, police chief in Decatur, Alabama; James Russell, FBI supervisory agent; Brian Davis, CEO of Wellstone Behavioral Health; and Pastor Troy Garner of the Fellowship of Faith Church in Huntsville. Special guests included Aladin Beshir from the Huntsville Islamic Center; Black Lives Matter activist Afu Okosun; Sherrie Saunders, radio blog talk show host; and Laura Hodge of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Northern Alabama. The first half hour of the program was broadcast live and the follow-up discussion was streamed on the WAAY website.
