Melvin Carter is a former member and vice president of the Saint Paul City Council, currently serving under Governor Mark Dayton as Executive Director of the Minnesota Children’s Cabinet. Both a longtime advocate for community policing/ police accountability and the son of a retired Saint Paul police sergeant, Carter will draw from his own set of personal and professional experiences to share his perspectives on the current state of police-community relations, as well as that conversation’s implications on broader discussions about race and inequality in America.
