Local conversations on race continue this month, part of the “Neighbor to Neighbor” series convening throughout the Tristate.

        Up to 80 conversations are planned by the middle of December. Each is intended to give participants a greater understanding of the issues and the opportunity to take action to reduce racial tension.

        More hosts are needed, especially in the suburbs outside the Interstate 275 beltway. Hosts are asked to provide a place to hold the conversation, set a date for it, publicize it and invite people to attend. The conversations should be wrapped up by mid-December.

        Here is a schedule for conversations that will take place this week. Call the contact person listed to reserve a seat; space is limited to 20-25 participants.
