https://www.busboysandpoets.com/events/th-evt-5814786/ Join Busboys and Poets for a conversation between Matthew Horace and Ron Harris. Matthew Horace has spent 28 years working in law enforcement at the federal, state, and local level in almost every state in the country, but even he is not immune to the dangers of being a black man in America. During his 8th year of service, Horace found himself face-down on the ground with a gun pointed at his head by a white fellow officer—that was the moment that he fully understood the racism seething within America's police departments. In the provocative and timely THE BLACK AND THE BLUE: A Cop Reveals the Crimes, Racism, and Injustice in America’s Law Enforcement, Matthew Horace sheds light on what truly goes on behind the blue line—and opens a much-needed dialogue about how to best mend the rift between law enforcement and the public.
