Admin Message
Dear Community Mobilization Resource Coalition (CMRC) Members and Friends,
On behalf of the CMRC Steering Committee, I'd like to share a list of upcoming community events for your consideration, in particular, the following important events
Apr 17, 2024 07:00 PM Barbershop Talk: Racism in Rochester Moderators: Bud Whitehorn, Andre Crockett, Tawonda Burks; In response to the racial slur written in cups on a bridge crossing East Circle drive near Century High school this weekend, a group of our local community leaders are coming together to have a conversation about racism in Rochester at a Community Town Hall. This event will be Wednesday from 7 p.m. – 8 p.m. at Century High School.
Apr 20, 2024 11:00 AM NAACP Not In Our Town We, the Rochester Branch of the NAACP, stand united in condemning the recent hateful incident involving the use of a racial slur against black and brown people in the immediate vicinity of Rochester Century High School. This reprehensible act not only undermines the values of our community but also sends a disturbing message to our youth who should feel safe and respected.
