DESCRIPTION:The state of Georgia has set an execution date of September 21st for Troy 
 Davis.\n\nThis Case, like so many death penalty cases, highlights the 
 racism of the criminal injustice system. Troy was convicted of killing a 
 white police officer without any physical evidence and 7 of the 9 witnesses 
 that were intimidated by the state into giving false statements have since 
 recanted their testimony. Rather than admit the flaws of the system, the 
 state of Georgia now wants to send an innocent man to his death.\n\nWhat 
 purpose does the death penalty serve in this country? Why does the state of 
 Georgia want to risk executing an innocent man in order to save a system 
 they know is flawed?\n\nCome to a discussion about the important of Troy 
 Davis' case and the pressing questions facing our struggle to stop the 
 death penalty and the "new Jim Crow" system of police and 
 courts.\n\nFEATURED SPEAKERS:\nJack Bryson- civil rights organizer,
