Join the Southern Poverty Law Center for a dynamic conversation about the need to transform the youth legal system in the Deep South. The conversation will highlight findings from SPLC’s “Only Young Once” research report series which details the harms and challenges with youth justice across the Deep South, as well as policy reforms to address them.
The evening’s presentation will also feature “The Danger of a Single Story—The Miami Gardens Edition,” a photojournalism project by Florida young people that aims to dispel myths about Black and Brown youth. The event will end with a call to action from Louisiana youth to support efforts to stop the cycle of young people through their state’s legal system.
