The moderator, Tony Thompson (Professor of Law & Director of the Center on Race, Inequality and the Law), posed this question to Maya Wiley (Professor of Urban Policy at The New School and former counsel to Mayor Bill de Blasio): Does the media play a role in creating the narrative that Black people are prone to criminal behavior. Professor Wiley’s answer was simple: Yes...💁🏽‍♀️ . . . #whatshesaid #yepyesyeah #centerforraceinequalityandthelaw #criminaljusticereform #socialjustice #civilrights #humanrights #tonythompson #mayawiley #vanitagupta #paulbutler #stephenbright #nyuschooloflaw #letschangethenarrative #blacklivesmatter #blacklawyersmatter #attorneysofcolor #media #fakenews #fucktrump (at NYU School of Law)
