With nearly 60% of the prison population in Delaware consisting of African American inmates, while blacks only make up less than a quarter of the population, a group consisting of Complexities of Color Coalition, the Delaware NAACP and the Unitarian Universalists of Southern Delaware are holding a town hall in Lewes. The meeting will focus on specific policy changes in the criminal justice system ranging from law enforcement and legal penalties to repeal of the death penalty. Delmarva Public Radio's Don Rush spoke with Dr. Donald Morton, with Complexities of Color Coalition about the issues facing the African American Community.
The meeting will take place at 7 p.m. in the New UUSD building at 30486 Georgetown/Lewes Highway (Route) in Lewes.
