ST. LOUIS PUBLIC LIBRARY'S AUGUST AUTHORS @ YOUR LIBRARY SERIES PRESENTS TERRELL CARTER

The St. Louis Public Library is proud to present former City police officer Terrell Carter, author of Walking the Blue Line: Lessons Learned While Patrolling Racially Divided Communities.  The program takes place at the Schlafly Branch, 225 N. Euclid Ave.,on August 5 at 7 p.m.  The event is FREE and open to the public.

In Walking the Blue Line, Carter does not defend or demonize police officers, nor does he defend or demonize victims of police brutality. Rather, he sheds light on how we can repair the strained relationships that exist between minorities and law enforcement. He discusses personal experiences that put perspective on working toward effective solutions to the region's racial divide.

Terrell Carter serves as Executive Director of the North Newstead Association, a community development corporation in St. Louis. He is also a consultant and coach for community engagement and organizational effectiveness for nonprofit and for-profit organizations specializing in issues of race, understanding and resolving the racial divide, human relations, and improving police/citizen interactions.
