Clarksville, TN – On Saturday, April 21st The Montgomery County Disproportionate Minority Contact (DMC) Task Force under the Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth (TCCY) hosted the 2nd Annual Joint Conference on Juvenile Justice at the Morgan University Center.
This all day conference was sponsored by TCCY, APSU, Planters Bank, and the law office of Merriel Bullock Neal to make it free for youth and parents to participate and receive a catered breakfast and lunch meal.
Faith Outreach Church and Grace Nazarene Church donated laptops to be raffled off at the event to reward youth for participating from 8:30am to 4:30pm. The conference concluded with the Rachel’s Challenge. The powerful video/audio footage of Rachel’s life and the Columbine tragedy held students spell-bound during a presentation that motivated them to positive change in the way they treat others.
