Abstract

This discussion among a community at the University of Oklahoma came from work presented at an event called "After Trayvon." Several issues about social justice, African-American bodies, the experience of microagressions, the role and responsibility of local police, and the critical roles of history and the media were discussed in a forum with the public.
