The 14th amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified by President Abraham Lincoln in 1868, was passed in the wake of the US Civil War. It states that no State can “… deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
Watch as our moderator Chief Daniel Hahn (recently retired, Sacramento PD) facilitated a captivating discussion with law enforcement leadership like Chief Danielle Outlaw (Philadelphia PD), Captain Frederick L. Thomas, President of The National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), and Steven H. Rosenbaum, Chief of Special Litigation Section, Justice Department.
We kicked off the discussion with welcome remarks from Anthony Heredia, SVP, Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer at Target and Kristen Clarke, Assistant Attorney General, United States Department of Justice.
In this timely round table, we heard their perspectives on equal protection, democratic integrity, discrimination, the history of the 14th amendment, and the vital role it continues to hold in its intent to stop discriminatory practices against Black Americans.
A special thank you to Target for helping make our virtual program possible.
