“I would challenge it’s not history. This is going on today. ... Acknowledgment of harm is very dangerous if there’s not a commitment to policy changes and a moral commitment to doing things different.” ~ @RutgersSCJ Dean Rod K. Brunson #ASCATL18 #Reconciliation @ASCRM41

“Departments need to understand their history so they can own that history. It’s meaningless to give broad apologies and acknowledgements of harm if they’re not aware of what happened.” ~ NNSC’s @zuur_alex on import of historical fact finding w/i #Reconciliation. #ASCATL18

“Nobody pretends those acknowledgements [of harm] are the end to anything but they do tend to have remarkable power,” @DavidKennedyNYC says during #Reconciliation roundtable at #ASCATL18. @trustandjustice @ASCRM41

“If one is going to be serious about addressing community violence, they have to care about legitimacy,” @DavidKennedyNYC starts #ASCATL18 #Reconciliation roundtable. @ASCRM41
