Aug 14 Teach-In: Richard Riker and David Ruggles
With faith partners from the Campaign to Close Rikers, learn about David Ruggles' work in opposition to Richard Riker's "Kidnapping Club", and his organization, the New York Committee of Vigilance.
This Teach In is open to everyone, and in particular to provide background to people who are planning to join us for vigils on August 21 and August 28 connecting Rikers Island and legacy of slavery and freedom in New York. You can find info about those vigils here.
