Anti-racism event speaks to diversity and inclusion to foster relationships and break down stereotypes.
THUNDER BAY — Organizers hope that breaking down stereotypes through education and relationship-building will help in the fight against racism in Thunder Bay.
Louisa Costanzo, city manager of community safety and well-being, said the event is a place for people to come together to share their stories and learn from one another. Keynote speaker Carl Crawford, an Equity and Inclusion Specialist with St. Louis County, touched on the importance of Indigenous youth voices, action for truth and reconciliation, international students' experiences, and how biases shape our world.
“We have a feeling that we're uncivil. And really when we get past looking over the fence at each other and create those doors and windows to create opportunities to meet each other, we find out how amazing we all are and those fences that we keep up, we don't need to have those in place anymore,” said Crawford.
