Student Leader | Inner Harbor Project
My name is Diamond Sampson and I am a sophomore at Baltimore City College high school. I joined the Inner Harbor Project in June 2012. I think this project will give young people a chance to reveal the unknown. As a person I am very outspoken so this is a way to let my voice be heard!

Criminalizing Youth in Baltimore: Race, Class and Gender in Public Space

This workshop takes a deep dive into the racialized landscape of development, gentrification, policing and criminalization of young people in Baltimore. Baltimore is a city struggling with economic divestment and distress, rapid gentrification and problematic zoning. How do these complicated dynamics impact millennials of color in Baltimore? Come hear stories and analysis from three local organizations that are mobilizing young people around issues of race, gender, sexuality, criminalization and public space.

Speakers: Bakari Jones, Diamond Sampson
