Join us for an important discussion:

A digital graphic with a light blue background features bold black text reading 'A Campus Conversation.' Below, a red horizontal line separates the main title from a subtitle in black text: 'Building Trust and Reducing Fear Between Police & Communities.' In the top right corner, there is a stylized logo with black and red text reading 'I Fear 4 My Life,' with the number '4' appearing in red brushstroke style.

I Fear 4 My Life (IFFML) and Lincoln's own Chief Gary Hill invite you for an afternoon of dialogue between college students of color and law enforcement. This campus conversation, being hosted at various HBCUs throughout the country, aims to bring greater understanding of experiences and perceptions to bridge the gap between HBCU students and law enforcement.
