A Conversation About Acceptance
Systemic racism and social injustice still exist, even 155 years after the passage of the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter Movement in 2020. It can be hard to acknowledge that these issues may be closer to home than we think. We’ll take a look at Central Oregon’s history of racial exclusion that invites a discussion of our community’s diversity and overall acceptance.
Join our panel to learn what initiatives we are taking and how you can ensure that Central Oregon grows to be more diverse, safe, and accessible to everyone.
Panel:
- Marcus LeGrand: COCC College and Career Success Coach
- Kip Jones: Executive Pastor, Antioch Church
- Gena Goodman Campbell: Bend City Councilor
- Kinsey Martin: Dual Immersion Program Director, Bend La Pine School Dist.
