About Us

Who We Are

This idea was born out of the unfortunate occurrences in Ferguson, Missouri over five years ago. While it may have seemed more urgent at that time, there remains a need for all communities to make every effort to bring racial relations closer and to a higher level. This is not to say our community has bad race relations, but rather to concede that wherever we stand on an imaginary scale, we owe it to ourselves to make constant efforts towards improving our standing.

Bring our entire community closer together, with particular respect to race relations, in a way that success can be measured and duplicated for others to follow. Our community is rich in diversity, however many people find themselves surrounded by mostly like-minded individuals in their everyday lives. Unity in the Community strives to encourage all people with different experiences and viewpoints to break bread together, to learn together, and to start a dialogue together. These conversations can enrich the lives of the individuals as well as impact our community as a whole.
