In 2016 Georgia Appleseed issued a report entitled “Seeking the Beloved Community: Fostering Crucial Conversations about Race, Law Enforcement, and the Law.” The International Association of Law Libraries invited me to speak at its conference because it was interested in why Georgia Appleseed had chosen that project, and they were also interested in the methods we used to create the report. Here I'll provide a summary of my talk, first introducing the work of Georgia Appleseed, and then turning to the project report itself.
