Reconciliation: Pittsburgh Community Leader Leon Ford and Former Pittsburgh Police Chief Scott Schubert in Conversation about Moving Beyond Past Offenses and Building Relationships

Monday, September 25 • 3-4:15 pm
Levinson Hall • JCC Squirrel Hill

11 years ago, Leon Ford was shot five times by the Pittsburgh Police. A case of mistaken identity that paralyzed him from the waist down, Ford’s entire life was altered in an instant.

After years of reckoning and learning to transform pain and anger into healing, Ford and Schubert have nurtured a loving relationship committed to reconciliation.

Join us to witness their conversation and for a contemporary Yizkor (Memorial) Service for all of our losses.
