Human Rights Commission Minutes October 21, 2015 Page 4 of 7 Ms. Collins recommended Commissioner Cederberg talk with Corey Yonke because he is working with the Roseville Police Foundation to do a soccer clinic or soccer camp. He may be a good resource for him in the future. Commissioner Christiansen stated the League of Women Voters would be facilitating a discussion on domestic abuse. There would be a police panel discussion on their practices and how they investigate domestic cases. The event will be on November 17. November 13 and 14, is the 2015 Overcoming Racism Conference at Metropolitan State University. Facilitating Racial Equality Collaborative and Overcomingracism.org are hosting the event. Roseville University has two (2) sessions in November. b.Receive and Discuss Shoreview Human Rights Idea Proposal Ms. Collins read the email received from the Chair of the Shoreview Human Rights Commission: “At our most recent HRC meeting I proposed having a public screening of the documentary “America’s Civil Rights Movement - A Time for Justice” but my idea was quickly rejected. The film is narrated by Julian Bond, so this is why I thought it would be an ideal opportunity to show it. Like the “Selma” documentary it is available for free for the Southern Poverty Loss Center. You just need a proposal of how you want use it attached to the original proposal (which was attached to the email) for the event in August. If you wish to show it at the Roseville Library, Judy Woodward is the History Coordinator. She said they do not normally do anything for the MLK (Martin Luther King) holiday because they focus on Black History Month in February but she is always open to new ideas. I like that the Library can effectively market events and get the word out to a wide audience. On a negative note there was a negative comment about Dunn Brothers being too expensive.” Commissioner Christiansen stated she would support this proposal. Chair Groff stated it would involve planning but they do have the template for the event that had been held in August. He stated he had not seen the film but the Chair of the Shoreview HRC had stated it was good. They would also need to coordinate with the Library for the space. Youth Commissioner Cederberg stated he would contact Judy Woodward at the Library to see if there are available dates and if they would promote the event. Ms. Collins suggested the Commission consider having a speaker available for a question and answer session after the showing. Commissioner Christiansen stated Ms. Woodward might know historians that would be interested in facilitating this. c.Discuss MN Second Chance Coalition’s ‘Restore the Vote’ campaign
