Faith and Community Group Representatives
By working with trusted community networks, the Franklin County team was able to engage a diverse group of community and faith representatives from the African American community in Columbus, OH. Community leaders were able to bring wider public perspectives about the justice system to the table with some of Franklin County’s Municipal Court (Specialized Dockets) judges and court actors.
Community and faith leaders recruited to the Franklin County event included the following:
- Cecil Ahad, Men for the Movement
- Brianna Davis, Respect my Queendom
- Dorian Grant, Pastor, Greater Twelfth Baptist Church
- Thomas Gunn, National Center for Urban Solutions
- Joel King, Baptist Pastors Conference
- Frederick LaMarr, President, Columbus Baptist Pastor Conference of Columbus and Vicinity
- Tyrone Thomas, Men for the Movement
- Howard Washington, Vice Moderator, East Union Baptist District Association
