Greenburgh Nature Center Sponsors Stand Against Racism Program

The and Theodore Young Community Center have partnered with the YWCA White Plains & Central Westchester to Stand Against Racism. The program is being held at the Greenburgh Nature Center on April 26, 2012 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The groups are working to raise awareness that racism still exists in our communities.

The goal of this program is for communities to band together and stand for the right of all individuals to be treated with the dignity and respect they deserve, and commit ourselves to take action for peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all people.

Opening Remarks will be presented by William Carter, Town of Greenburgh Commissioner of Community Resources.  The program will feature unFRAMED Artist Iyaba Ibo Mandingo, who is a poet, painter, writer, and playwright.

Stand Against Racism is an annual event of the YWCA.

To learn more about the event, please visit www.StandAgainstRacism.org. To RSVP, please email Juliana Leshi at jleshi@greenburghnaturecenter.org.  

Due to mature content and language, the program is recommended for high school students and adults. The event will be held indoors. However, walking on a short trail to the event location is required so comfortable shoes are suggested.

Note: Stand Again Racism is also being held at Jay Heritage Center on Friday, April 27, 2012.
