Join us at the San Francisco Public Library’s Koret Auditorium on Saturday, February 11 from 11-12:30 as alumni of Mount Tamalpais College discuss the role of education and community in their lives during and post-incarceration. The panel discussion will follow a screening of The Other Side of the Wall, a short film by R.J. Lozada about the friendships forged in the classroom.
Ear Hustle Co-Host Earlonne Woods will moderate the panel, which will feature alumni and San Quentin community members Jesse Vasquez, Corey McNeil, Anthony Ammons, Johnny Lam, Wayne Boatright, and San Quentin’s longtime Public Information Officer Samuel Robinson. Panelists will have an opportunity to share their experiences and opinions on the challenges of higher education in prison and how education can lead to safer prison environments and healthy communities – demonstrating that the message of “education being the key” is not just a catchphrase but a reality.
This event is free and open to the public. Register here!
