By: PRLog
WASHINGTON - May 24, 2018 - PRLog -- NPR's Domenico Montanaro and Dr. Cornel West are teaming up to tackle the issues of social justice during the event Justice Matters 2018. The event will take place on Thursday, May 31, 2018 at 7:30 PM at the Warner Theatre located at 513 13th Street, N.W. in downtown Washington, D.C.

With so many recent social justice issues dominating the news such as the release of the arrest footage of Sterling Brown and the NFL's recent decision to bar athletes from taking a knee on the field during the national anthem, the conversation between these two media powerhouses will explore the complicated issues surrounding justice, police brutality, gun control, as well as many other topics important to the live audience.

The events will feature music by Childish Gambino's keyboardist, Lynette Williams, and her sister Sangin' Sara Williams, background singer for Ledisi. This dynamic duo will grace the stage at 6:45 PM. Opening remarks will be delivered by Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Former Mayor of Baltimore, and current senior advisor in Dentons' Public Policy Group, as well as an adviser to Airbnb.
The conversation, which will be held live, will feature questions sent via twitter to @MayorSRB and @DomenicoNPRduring the #justicematers2018 live chat at 12:00 PM EST. on Friday, May 25th, 2018. Additional question will come from various millennial social media influencers such as @mediaprince.
