Many residents of Columbia call our town an “oasis” – by that they seem to mean a more open-minded urban center in the middle of Missouri. But, how diverse are we really? Do we really mix with diverse groups or do we tend to “stick with our own”? Is whatever town we call home really welcoming for all kinds of people? Panelists and members of the community discuss these and other issues during a special live town-hall style Intersection program hosted at the Reynolds Journalism Institute.
Panelists:
Ibtisam Barakat, international author based in Columbia
Eduardo Crespi, director and founder of Centro Latino
Marie Glaze, human rights specialist for the City of Columbia
Nathan Stephens, director of the Gaines/Oldham Black Culture Center at MU
Roger Worthington, chief diversity officer at MU
