| Attorney General Loretta Lynch |
In one of her first acts as the new attorney general, Loretta Lynch will travel to Baltimore on Tuesday.
She has not yet visited the city in the wake of the riots and protests following the death of Freddie Gray, a black man who suffered a spinal injury and later died while in police custody.
Lynch, along with the head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, Vanita Gupta, will meet with city officials, members of Congress, law enforcement officials, faith and community leaders and others. They will be joined by Ronald Davis, the director of the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) and Grade Lum, the director of the Community Relations Service.
During a press conference last week, Lynch decried the violence in Baltimore and called for a "respectful conversation" there.
