Why are there so many opposing perspectives? How do we identify solutions to end violence against African Americans in America? What actions can we as community members take? In anticipation of Donald Byrd’s SHOT (world premiere), which examines the continuous murder of black people by American law enforcement, Spectrum Dance…
