Gregg Blodgett

The shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson jolted me back to some personal experiences with racism in the South in my early twenties.  I was both shocked and outraged that 50 years later policing in many ways still did not value the lives of nonwhites.  It was probably all there to see if you looked hard enough- but I hadn’t been. Then RARE came along and gave me a way to participate to help advance the cause of true equality.
