SAVE THE DATE!
Thursday, April 12th 2012 from 4:00 - 6:00 PM
The Stand Against Racism is a movement of the YWCA with the goal of bringing people together from all walks of life - across the country - to raise awareness that racism still exists.
In 2011, the YWCA will partnered with more than 70 YWCA Associations throughout the country to Stand Against Racism, with the goal of bringing people together from all walks of life to raise awareness that racism still exists.
Why Stand Against Racism?
Racism and discrimination hurt everyone and has had a profound effect on children and adults, our communities and our institutions. Today, we can look back on our history and examine the direction, development and effects of the enslavement of Africans, the dispossession of Indian and Mexican lands, the exclusion of Asians from immigration and citizenship as events that have shaped the current attitudes and actions supported by the power of law, institutional structures, and culture in this country. Race and the legacy of discrimination continue to affect our lives - whether in our everyday interactions with others at work, school, or in our neighborhoods and communities.
The YWCA of Nashville held the public event at 1608 Woodmont Boulevard that included guest speakers, readings about promoting equality for all people and materials for attendees.
