A Teach-In on the history of Chicago Police Torture at the John Marshall Law School.

Between 1972 and 1991, Chicago Police Department Officers tortured at least 112 African American men and youth.

Chicago Police Detective Jon Burge was primarily responsible for introducing the torture techniques, which included electric shock, suffocation, burns, beatings, use of cattle prods, use of nooses, and mock executions with guns.

This teach-in will take place at John Marshall Law School, Room 201, on Wednesday, March 18th from 12pm to 1:30pm. Please circulate to your networks. TUPOCC is collaborating with First Defense Legal Aid as well as Lyons McCray Legal LLP and Dominguez Legal Justice Center (both of which are Justice Entrepreneur Project participants). John Marshall’s Black Law Student Association and Latino Law Student Association are also co-sponsoring.
