Yesterday, as a preview to OSI-Baltimore’s next Talking About Race event, Harm Reduction and Communities of Color, Marc Steiner spoke to panelists Kassandra Frederique, New York State Director at the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) and Dr. Samuel Roberts, Associate Professor of History and Associate Professor of Sociomedical Sciences at Columbia University, and Scott Nolen, director of OSI-Baltimore’s Drug Addiction Treatment program. The in-depth discussion focused on the differences in drug polices and enforcement that have historically existed between white communities and communities of color and how current harm reduction efforts might work in Baltimore.
