OPD Co-Hosts A Conversation with Kristin Henning

Rage of Innocence Event pngOPD invites you to join us next week for an important discussion with author Kristin Henning about her new book The Rage of Innocence: How America Criminalizes Black Youth. Co-hosted with the Louisiana Center for Children's Rights and the Innocence Project of New Orleans, the virtual even is free and open to the public. 

Kristin Henning is the director of the Juvenile Justice Clinic and Initiative at the Georgetown University Law Center. She was a defense attorney for 25 years in Washington, DC juvenile courts and saw firsthand how America and the criminal legal system criminalize Black youth.

"The Rage of Innocence is an important and timely book - an intelligent, compassionate, and indispensable argument on behalf of Black children." -- NY Journal of Books
