Not All Felonies Are Created Equal- "Convicted and Elected: Will America Rethink Second Chances?" Tank's Story
We're tackling a subject that weighs heavy on the hearts of so many in our communitiesâ
life after a felony conviction.
Weâve heard the phrase, 'Do the crime, do the time,' but what about after the time is served? Can a person ever truly be free from their past?
For the first time in our nation's history, the highest office in the land is occupied by someone with a felony conviction.
It begs the question: if the presidency isnât off-limits to a convicted felon, why are so many doors still slammed shut for those who have paid their debt to society?
Tonight, weâre honored to welcome Kemnejer 'Tank' Alexander. His story is raw and realâa teenager caught up in the streets, sentenced to a decade behind bars, and now, over 30 years later, still fighting the invisible chains of his past. This conversation isn't just about Tank. It's about justice, redemption, and the power of a second chance."
