SUMMARY:Hybrid History Happy Hour - Illustrating Death Row: From Personal to Policy
DESCRIPTION:In-Person   $15 for Museum members\, $20 for non-members\n\nVirtual   free for Museum members\, $5 for non-members\n\n\n\nAlong with Japan\, Taiwan\, and Singapore\, the United States is one of four advanced democracies and the only Western nation that applies the death penalty regularly. This program focuses specifically on racial discrimination and the death penalty\, with panelists Robert Dunham and Ngozi Ndulue from the Death Penalty Information Center\, and Kenneth Reams\, an inmate serving life in prison. Together the speakers will discuss excessive punishment in an historical and social context and how judicial practices overwhelmingly target Black men who are over-represented in prisons and on death row.

How can you use your voice to change laws that allow for these racist and inhumane outcomes?

For accommodation requests\, please contact the museum via email or at 301-774-0022.
