LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (August 16, 2016) – The City of Little Rock’s Racial and Cultural Diversity Commission will hold a community justice workshop Thursday, Aug. 25, aimed at helping those who were formerly incarcerated re-integrate back into the community.

• Maximillan Sprinkle, private attorney – Expungement
• Kelly Eichler, Governor’s Office – Clemency process (Pardons)
• Keith Alexander, Community Programs re-entry coordinator - City of Little Rock Sidewalk Program
