Some view racism as a “curable disease.” If you’re interested in learning how you can locally contribute to the cure, consider the Race Unity Day, set for Aug. 17 at St. Helens Park.
Deena Pierott, founder of iUrban Teen Tech, a program that educates minority children about career opportunities in science, technology and engineering, will speak on “What You Can Do to Promote Race Unity in Vancouver” at 1 p.m. There’ll be food and music at 2 p.m.
