MONDAY

I watched ABC’s “What Do You Think” last night - a series of comments and :interviews with passengers during cab rides and “arguments” between white and black couples in a park. The conclusions all seemed to be the same - particularly about race. Race dues make a difference and at the end of the show, Psychologist Dr. Keating suggests that what we need is a “National Conversation About Race.”

That’s what One Columbus offers this community in its Dialogue Groups.

You may want to sign up at www.onecolumbus.org or leave your name and number at 315-0162 and “Join In The Conversation” with others here in the Valley.
