This video features proceedings from a criminal justice symposium held at Morehouse College, sponsored by the Lowery Institute for Justice and Human Rights. In the recording, a law professor opens the panel by discussing initiatives from the National African American Drug Policy coalition to address youth and adults impacted by drug abuse and mental health concerns. Panelists speak about mental health care for youth and the correlation of this care with the juvenile justice system. One of the panelists addresses the racial disparity in the criminal justice system and the disparity in how laws are enforced. The panelists' presentations are followed by a question and answer session with symposium attendees.
