Nine Neighbor to Neighbor Conversations on Race will be held this week in Tristate communities, the first of nearly 100 planned conversations that will take place through mid-December.

        The first is at 3 p.m. today at John Wesley United Methodist Church in Springfield Township.

        Neighbor to Neighbor has been endorsed by dozens of community organizations, churches and corporations, as well as the Cincinnati Media Collaborative.

        The initiative will give hundreds of residents the opportunity not only to talk about the issues, but to devise actions they and community leaders can take.
