A meeting will be held in each of the five districts of the city (listed below). After a brief informational session, smaller discussion groups will discuss the various topics and the kinds of people affected by discrimination. Refreshments will be served. This is part of a 10-year follow up to the last State of Human Relations Report for Greensboro, with particular focus on housing, education, employment, and police behavior/justice system.
