The public conversation about race, unity and diversity in Midway will
continue on Sunday, Oct. 22, as a follow-up to the city’s ‘Peace in the Park’
event in August.
“Continuing the Conversation: A Peaceful Discussion on Race,
Unity, and Diversity in Our Community” be held at Midway Christian Church, 123
E. Bruen St., at 6:30 p.m.
The meeting follows an initial gathering on the topic that
was held in August. The first ‘Peace in the Park’ event, organized by Mayor
Grayson Vandegrift, was a response to the violent white-supremacist protests in Charlottesville, Va.
Around 50 citizens attended the first meeting, and several
of them spoke their thoughts and concerns to the crowd.
Vandegrift said after the August meeting that he wanted to
continue the discussion on diversity, and that he hoped Midway could serve as
an example to other communities.
