proactive in our efforts to ... build com
munity efforts toward equity and jus
tice."
There is no timeline yet for the four
forum series, but members say it could
began as soon as this fall. Police rela
tions is one of the four main
tnrusts ot the Conference, an
organization of mostly
African American clergy.
Economic development,
education and health care are
the others. They will each be
addressed during forums of
their own.
"We believe that we can
make advances and change
the social culture in our
tUIIIIIIUIUI^ Willi IIUII^AI, HU
cial conversations," Bass
said. "We believe that we
can discover new ways of growing
together."
But ministers say they do not want
the conversation to be one-sided.
Participation from "decision makers"
and "movers and shakers," including
those from the Winston-Salem Chamber
of Commerce and the city's influential
health care industry, is essential, they
said.
Dr. Dennis Leach, pastor of Morning
Star Missionary Baptist, said income
disparities are at the root of the prob
lems between police and communities
of color and must be addressed head-on.
"There is a tremendous link between
poverty and crime," he said.
Bass said the Winston-Salem Police
Department is on-board and cooperat
ing with the Conference in the planning
of the initial forum. Assistant Chief
Wilson Weaver 11 was on hand at
Emmanuel. He said police officers are
striving every day to build trust with the
residents they serve, including by sim
ply getting out of their patrol vehicles to
strike up conversations.
It is unclt':>r if WSPD
leaders and the Ministers'
Conference will see eye-to
eye on the latter's plan to
broach the topic of giving
subpoena power to the
Citizens' Police Review
Board. Some say giving the
board the ability to call on
and question officers would
give it the ability to truly
investigate citizen com
plaints about officer miscon

WSPD - which conducts its own in
house review when complaints are filed
- has not been in favor of that.
Dr. Serenus Chum, pastor of Mt.
Zion Baptist Church, said he hopes the
first town hall is more about compas
sion than confrontation. While
acknowledging that the viral "Hands
Up" protest in the wake of Michael
Brown's shooting death in Ferguson had
its place. Churn now believes a more
conciliatory tone is needed to engage
allies of all stripes in the fight against
social and economic iniquities.
"1 personally am wondering whether
our response needs to turn from hands
up' to hands out," he said.
