The Revere Human Rights Commission hopes its new student-senior dialogue event will help bridge generational divides in the community.Revere TodayThe Revere Human Rights Commission is working to expand its community outreach by planning two new events - a dialogue between high school students and senior citizens, as well as a Juneteenth celebration. The goal is to forge connections between diverse groups in the city and educate residents about the commission's advisory and educational role.
Why it matters
The commission hopes these events will help bridge generational divides and raise awareness about its mission to promote goodwill, understanding, and address discrimination concerns in Revere.
The details
The student-senior dialogue event will allow the two groups to engage in conversation and build connections. The commission is also planning a Juneteenth event, though they are still deciding between an educational program or a cultural celebration. As an advisory body, the commission can mediate discrimination complaints but has no enforcement authority.
- The commission began planning the events at their meeting last week.
- The student-senior dialogue and Juneteenth event are currently in the planning stages.
