Millikin University and the Salvation Army have teamed up to host part three of the 2022 Decatur Peace Summit Series on Wednesday, May 4, 2022, from 5 – 7 p.m. at the Salvation Army Community Center, located at 229 W. Main Street in Decatur, Ill. The theme for the event is “Where are we now?” The event is free and open to the public.
The event will feature keynote speaker Heather Canuel of the Women’s Justice Institute. Heather Canuel serves on multiple foundations and will be discussing her story, its impact on Illinois laws, and various resources available for the Decatur community that many may not know about.
Professor Keyria Rodgers, director of criminal justice at Millikin University and Illinois Juvenile Justice Commissioner, will also present on restorative justice and its recent impact on different laws in Illinois. Rodgers and Millikin students will also present information on local criminal justice data trends (and myths) about Decatur crime statistics.
