From the Cincinnati Public Allies Listserv:
HousingOpportunities Made Equal and several community partners are hosting a forum to
honor Hamilton County 9158
Winton Road Cincinnati , Hamilton County
This Human Relations Summit spotlights 28
communities that the 2010 Census determined to have been integrated for at
least 20, 30 or 40 years. As part of the morning’s program, representatives of
three of those communities will share their successes and challenges in
building inclusive, diverse communities. Audience members will be encouraged to
participate in the discussion.
“Through our efforts to deal with illegal
discrimination in housing, HOME often sees the worst of the worst with regard
to racial conflict,” said Elizabeth Brown, executive director. “This forum
allows us to celebrate those neighborhoods where whites and blacks are living
side-by-side working together for the betterment of their communities, and
they’ve been doing so for decades.”
As part of the recognition, HOME also partnered
with Cincy Magazine to publish “Hidden Treasures,” a special publication
featuring photos, quotes and descriptions to highlight the richness of each of
these neighborhoods. Multiple copies of the magazine will be available at the
forum and distributed by Cincy. In addition, trophies will be presented
to each of the honored communities.
The forum is free, and the public is invited.
For planning purposes, those wishing to attend are asked to contact Myra
Calder, consumer education specialist with HOME, by phone at 513-721-4663 or by
email at myra.calder@homecincy.org.
