Friday, March 21st, 2014
Community leaders gathered at Columbus State University Thursday for the third annual Diversity Conference.
Cheers from a packed room of supporters filled the Cunningham Center as noted community leaders spoke about diversity, inequality, and solutions.
A primary solution to several community issues is "starting the conversation", according to Georgia state NAACP president Francys Johnson. "For many the promises of Americas democracy seem further and further out of reach," Johnson said.
According to event organizers, Johnson has developed effective strategies to overcome the social injustices of racial, ethnic, and gender health disparities.
