At first glance one might think that a series on Canada would focus on how
our northern neighbor is really like a close cousin of the US. However, one of
our speakers coined the phrase, “unidentical twins” which captures how the
series explores ways in which Canada is materially different from the U.S. yet
closely tied to our country in many ways. Join us as we learn why Canada and
the U.S. are inextricably linked yet profoundly different.

Reverend Mashod Evans, Sr.
In 2019, the Ann Arbor’s City Council formed the Independent
Community Police Oversight Commission. Within the first year
of its existence, the death of Ahmad Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and
others would bring the discussion of Police Oversight onto the national stage.
This talk will focus on the experiences and reflection of an inaugural member of
the Independent Community Police Oversight Commission, through the lenses of
an African American faith leader.
