This time, the panel will confront police brutality; from the streets of Ferguson to the skyways of St. Paul.

What happened in Ferguson may have left the headlines, but it's still a lightning rod issue in communities of color, who feel under siege and in danger from police.

Panel members will share the personal impact of these incidents and unrest, discuss whether healing can occur, and what to do about troubled police/community relations across the country.
