Ferguson Panel Discussion to be Held at Prince George's Community College

Protests have been breaking out across the country as outrage continues following the grand jury decision not to indict a white officer in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager.

The tragedy has sparked conversation face-to-face, on social media, and now there will be a panel discussion noon to 1 p.m. Tuesday at Prince George’s Community College, 301 Largo Road.

Michael Brown, 18, was shot and killed by officer Darren Wilson in a confrontation on Aug. 9, 2014. The grand jury decision last week set off protests across the country. Wilson resigned from the police force on Saturday.

College Life Services, the Student Government Association, and the Public Safety and Law Department will host “Forum on Ferguson” in the Largo Student Center Lounge to share thoughts on the verdict and how it has impacted the nation.

Faculty members will moderate the discussion and the public is welcome to give insight at this free event.
