Man Overboard Remix

See them run hard and fast. 
 
We used the Man Overboard Remix game to discuss "Stop-N-Frisk" laws in the community. Youth were asked to run when prompted after they heard a general stereotype often imposed on youth of color in New Orleans. AFSC interns then posed as police trying to frisk these young people as they ran past them. The purpose of this game was to demonstrate the injustice involved in establishing "who is suspicious" during "Stop-N-Frisk" practices.
