Raised in the System: Film Screening & Discussion with Michael K. Williams
2019-04-26 18:00 - 20:00 | Reginald F. Lewis Museum, 830 E. Pratt St., Baltimore, 21202, United States
Actor and producer Michael K. Williams (Omar Little from The Wire, Chalky White from Boardwalk Empire) brings his HBO VICE documentary, “Raised in the System” to the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of African American History at 6 PM.
Williams will screen his one-hour documentary on the people impacted by the juvenile justice system. “Raised in the System” takes viewers inside detention facilities, where Williams speaks directly with juveniles about their pathways into the system. Williams also talks with incarcerated adults about how their experiences as juveniles contributed to their adult incarceration. The film also explores alternative models of juvenile justice—in places like Toledo, Ohio, and Richmond, California—that offer more hope for rehabilitation instead of incarceration.
The event will also include a post-screening conversation with Michael K. Williams, Williams’ nephew Dominic Dupont, one of the subjects featured in the documentary who received clemency from New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo after over 21 years of incarceration for a crime he committed at the age of 17, and Tara Huffman, director of OSI’s Criminal and Juvenile Justice Program. The conversation will be moderated by Dana Rachlin, the founder and executive director of NYC Together, a social justice organization taking a unique approach to interrupting the school to prison pipeline in partnership with the NYPD.
As we work to better the lives of all our citizens, the Mayor’s Office of African American Male Engagement, Open Society Institute-Baltimore, and Reginald F. Lewis Museum of African American History are excited about hosting this public event in Baltimore City.
Free and open to the public, registration required. Click here to let us know you’re coming.

Author Talk: The College Completion Glass – Half Full or Half – Empty? Exploring the Value of Post Secondary Education by Tiffany Beth Mfume, PhD.Saturday , March 9, 1 pm
Despite the Great Recession and looming “student loan debt crisis”, college education remains the most proven, invaluable lifetime investment and serves as the most reliable path to upward mobility and socioeconomic class reassignment. Mfume suggests that “the value added” of even one year of college can be trans-formative. As higher education professionals and partners continue to advocate for new and improved college retention and graduation measures, The College Completion Glass—Half-Full or Half-Empty? presents a new paradigm for higher education, one that focuses on “the value added” of post secondary education as well as on student success beyond the traditional measure of college graduation rates.
Dr. Tiffany Beth Mfume is the Assistant Vice President for Student Success and Retention at Morgan State University where her leadership has helped to promote ten point increases in both retention and graduation rates.
