Hampton Citizens Unity
Commission will present a training
program entitled Living, Learning
and Thriving in a Diverse
Community. This event will be held

Road, Yorktown. If you would like
to take the van, call me at the

activity will help us meet our Charter for Racial
Justice requirement for being a Mission Today
