Q+A: DOJ Report on Ferguson, Missouri

Senior Associate Dean Christopher A. Bracey spoke to GW Today about a new Department of Justice report alleging systemic racial disenfranchisement and unconstitutional police behavior in Ferguson, Missouri. The Ferguson department has been under national scrutiny for civil rights violations since the fatal shooting last summer of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, by white police Officer Darren Wilson. Dean Bracey, an expert on civil rights, constitutional law, and the legal history of U.S. race relations, explained the details of the report and what is at stake.
