Sunday Series: Our Justice System and Race Equity. The Como Community Council’s Sunday Series continues with guest presenter Richard McLemore II.

McLemore is a Circle Keeper with Saint Paul’s “ETHOS” diversion program, was director of Ujamaa Place (a culturally-specific organization focused on young black men in the criminal justice system), and is a board member for We Are All Criminals and the Dispute Resolution Center. Among other restorative justice activities, he leads workshops on mental and emotional healing for practitioners at state and federal prisons, juvenile facilities, and county jails across the nation. And that's not the beginning of the story.
