Listen and watch the Facebook Live conversations here.

The Sherman Park unrest was a moment of reckoning in our city.  

For some, it was a wake-up call, while for others, it seemed inevitable. From all sides, there were countless calls for dialogue, healing and action.  

On the third anniversary of Sylville Smith’s death and ensuing unrest, we are hosting three conversations in Sherman Park that feature activists and advocates connected to the Sherman Park community.   

These will be broadcast on Facebook Live through our page on Tuesday, Aug. 13th. 

11 a.m.:  Program the Park’s Vaun Mayes, Gab Taylor and youths from Sherman Park

12 p.m.: Mildred Haynes (Sylville Smith’s mother), Sedan Smith (Sylville Smith’s brother), Wisconsin Voice’s Markasa Tucker and members of UBLAC

1 p.m.: ACLU’s Jarrett English and community advocate Camille Mays

(All groups are subject to change.) 

Please let us know in the comments if you have any questions you would like us to ask.
