No Hate in Our Town Campaign
The recent National Socialist Movement (neo-Nazi) conference held in Greensboro, prompted NCCJ, the Greensboro Human Relations Commission, and dozens of community organizations and faith groups in our city, to call all citizens to reaffirm their absolute commitment to continuing our community's efforts to build a Greensboro free of bias, bigotry and racism.
Leaders asked all people to signify their commitment to building bridges of understanding by wearing a multicolored unity ribbon beginning that fateful weekend and signing a resolution declaring No Hate in Our Town.
