The second episode in our series "Human Rights Minute" featuring AmeriCorps VISTA Ike Rayford. (Produced by Austin Granzow)
The Reality of Racism and Discrimination: A Panel Discussion for Siouxland will be presented at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 25 at the Betty Strong Encounter on the riverfront. Admission will be free. An informal reception will follow.
A panel of six Siouxland residents, representing diverse cultures, will share their personal experiences and insights on the changing climate of racism and discrimination in Sioux City.
Richard Hayes, retired executive director of the Sioux City Human Rights Commission, will serve as moderator. Panelists will be: A. Frank Baron, Sioux City attorney; the Rev. Tom LoVan, associate pastor Morningside Lutheran Church; Norma De La O, president of Siouxland Unidad Latina; Sandi OBrien, educational coordinator for Upward Bound at Western Iowa Tech Community College (WITCC); Susan Barta, advocate for equity and parity for Native people; and the Rev. Floyd Brown, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church.
This event offers Siouxland residents an opportunity to broaden their awareness of the impact that acts of racism and discrimination have on Siouxland, said Sr. Renae Hohensee of the Sioux City Human Rights Commission, I believe our community is rich in diverse cultures and by better understanding our cultural differences through events such as this, we become more tolerant.
The event is presented at the Encounter Center in partnership with the Sioux City Branch of the NAACP, Sioux City Human Rights Commission and Sioux City Public Museum to commemorate Iowa Black history.
