Over dinner, with help from a legal expert, we'll review the legal aspects of the case, and we'll view the TED talk by novelist Chimamanda Adichie about "The Danger of a Single Story." This evening is an opportunity to open up about "our thousands of anxieties about George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin...perhaps we'll learn more about this thing called race"*

Moderator: Tonyia Rawls, Founder/Executive Director of
                       The Freedom Center for Social Justice.
