Growing and Learning As A Community November 11, 2008
Posted by Marina in : Informational Events , trackbackIt’s no question that after the presidential election more issues arose within all different communities. Race, sadly, has become one of the major issues that America has struggled with for centuries and is now an issue with our soon to be president, Barack Obama.
But instead of running away from the issue and hiding from it, SU decided to do something about. We’re all about making everyone feel comfortable, always. So today in the Rockland banquet room from 4-6, the community held a town hall meeting with a very special lady. Bonnie King Taylor deals with issues of race in communities, and took time out of her busy life to come and bring the SU community together. She spoke of ways to handle it and how one shouldn’t hide from it. She was remarkable.
I think anyone and everyone who attended the meeting truly benefited from it and it opened up some curious minds.
Next up on the schedule is a comedian, which are totally my fave!
