| Protest of construction site at Patrick Henry School |
| |
| |
| WHO: |
Councilman Kevin Conwell, Ward 9,
Men Who Are Fathers,
Black on Black Crime
Black Contractor’s Group; and
Black Muslims |
| |
|
| WHAT: |
A picket protest of the Patrick Henry School construction site |
| |
|
| WHEN: |
Monday, December 17, 2007 at 10 am |
| |
|
| WHERE: |
The Patrick Henry School worksite at Durant Avenue and E. 123rd Street |
| |
|
| WHY: |
Strict state regulations regarding the criminal records of workers on school construction sites are inadvertently keeping African American construction workers off the sites.
“These kinds of restrictions make it more difficult for felons to re-enter the workforce,” said Councilman Conwell. “There are far reaching consequences to this unintended effect, including increasing the rate of recidivism.” |
