Health Professions Facility, Room 124
As part of Black History Month, Detroit Mercy student Cayden Brown, historian of UDM’s Black Student Union, will give a presentation titled Legal Rights in Police Encounters. This award‑winning lecture and training is designed to empower young people with clear, practical knowledge of their rights during police situations.
The lecture will take place on Tuesday, Feb. 3, at 6:30 p.m., in Room 124 of the Health Professions Facility.
This engaging presentation offers a step‑by‑step walkthrough of what individuals—especially youth of color—are legally entitled to during police encounters. Brown outlines proven strategies for self‑protection without escalation and equips participants with a ready‑to‑use protocol they can carry into subsequent interactions.
Brown has delivered this training nationwide, including its debut at Colin Kaepernick’s Know Your Rights Camp, and now comes to Detroit Mercy for this important campus conversation.
A native of Detroit, Brown is an American child rights defender and award-winning activist, known for his impact on juvenile justice at a notably young age. His work has been featured in Forbes and TIME, and his voice heard before the world’s largest platforms, including the United Nations.
All are encouraged to attend.
