The Day of Diversity will engage the Arab, Latino, Asian, African, Jewish, Disabilities and LGBTQ communities in a pertinent discussion focused on the current environment in policing, racism, stereotypes, media, and the do’s and don’ts of cultural etiquette. Community Policing, the LGBTQ Community, Corporate responsibility, Diversity in Journalism (alternative facts, real news), Muslim Identity, Women’s challenges in 2018, Human Trafficking, DACA, and marginalization will be the focus on April 19th!
This year more than ever we are challenged to preserve the sanctity of our values as a country and a nation. The bridges of divide have been fueled by the rhetoric of our political enclave but as a nation we are strong and resilient. The Conference will address these issues to strengthen the cornerstone of understanding and provide the necessary tools to face the continued challenges ahead in education, law enforcement healthcare and corporate America.
