Unity in Diversity Workshop on Monday at Moravian

Lehigh Valley Citizens for Unity in Diversity, a group created to strengthen and unite people of color, will conduct its second workshop on Monday, election eve, at Moravian College. The primary goal of the group is to be a catalyst of empowerment and support to people of color and the broader community.

Date: April 21, from 6 PM to 9:30 PM

Where: Moravian College, Priscilla Payne Hurd Academic Building, Room 102. Moravian College is located at 1200 Main Street, Bethlehem Pa. 18018.

At its first workshop last month in Lehigh County, founder Ngozi Bell - a class act - explained her focus. "We are just a group of people who care. There is beauty in the differences that we bring to the table."

These are beautiful people. I'm a crusty old fart who felt very much out of place when I walked into the first workshop, but the people there were so nice that even I was smiling in no time. I would highly recommend it. There's lots of free food, too!

Forum Coordinator, Ngozi Bell believes that the current political climate is an ideal time for this type of community forum to take place, stating that, “our diversity is a source of strength that should be leveraged and used to foster unity.“ Bell also happens to be a volunteer representative of the Lehigh Valley Obama offices, although the panel will be a mixed group that supports other candidates as well.
