Ferguson Voices: Disrupting the Frame
August 15
An event every day that begins at 12:00 am, repeating until Friday, August 30, 2024
Event Navigation
Dayton Metro Library is pleased to host Ferguson Voices: Disrupting the Frame, a profound exhibit produced by the University of Dayton Human Rights Center that will be on display through Friday, August 30, in the Opportunity Space @ St. Clair at the Main Library.
In 2014, after Michael Brown was shot and killed by police, a 100-day uprising followed in Ferguson, Missouri. Ferguson Voices features interviews and photographs of twelve individuals who responded to Brown’s death by showing contributions to their community during the protest – acting, teaching, repairing, and advancing the cause of justice.
Initially created in 2016, after nine University of Dayton students traveled to Missouri to interview people who were affected by the unrest of 2014, Ferguson Voices seeks to humanize the individuals who witnessed and shaped the uprising and to show visitors that when communities are faced with difficult moments, we all have a role to play.
A companion program hosted by the University of Dayton Human Rights Center will be held in the Opportunity Space @ St. Clair at 6 pm, on Tuesday, August 27. It will involve a panel discussion and provide a space for community members to come together and process the recent killing of 16-year-old Brian Moody by Dayton City Police.
This discussion will utilize the exhibit to focus attention on police violence and community response and will re-ignite questions about the use of lethal force, public trust and accountability, and over-policing and radical discrimination. The announcement of panel guests in attendance will be forthcoming.
This is the second time DML has had the honor of hosting Ferguson Voices; it first appeared at the Northwest Branch in 2017.
