In advance of the event, you are asked to view three videos that relate real incidents of discrimination in our community. Then on Monday August 29, our conversation will be introduced by Timber Smith, Diversity Coordinator for City of Appleton and Pa Lee Moua, Diversity Officer for Appleton Area School District. In small groups, participants will discuss the video-based incidents and share their personal experiences with bias and discrimination.
