Court TV Airs Special on Hate Crimes RULE
Posted: February 13, 2003

A new Court TV documentary examines how police investigate bias crimes and how communities react to them. The hourlong special, Al Roker Investigates: The Farmingville Incident premieres this week on Court TV and will be broadcast on Saturday, February 15 at 3 p.m. ET/PT and at other times throughout the month. Check your local listings.

The documentary follows the investigation of a hate crime on Long Island, in which two Latino day laborers were beaten by suspected skinheads. "Even though most people believe that America is a melting pot, this story proves there is still simmering hatred for people we see as different," said Al Roker, the program's host and executive producer.

The documentary features an interview with Caryl Stern, Chief Operating Officer of the Anti-Defamation League, who discusses how communities can effectively respond to bias incidents. Ms. Stern, a longtime educator and an expert on anti-bias education, is the author of Hate Hurts: How Children Learn and Unlearn Prejudice.

The program features firsthand accounts from law enforcement officials, prosecutors, and representatives of groups working to combat hate crimes.

ADL has a long running partnership with Court TV. Most recently, the League partnered with Court TV on "Empowering Children in the Aftermath of Hate," a public service broadcast and education initiative created in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks to help young people understand the consequences of hate and to learn important values of acceptance and diversity.
