Read full article: Online forum hosted by FSCJ focuses on racial diversityJACKSONVILLE, Fla. – More than 500 people across the United States watched an online forum about racial diversity that was hosted by Florida State College at Jacksonville on Thursday night. The panelists for the forum talked about racial diversity and why it’s important for everyone to be open and accepting of people of color or other ethnic backgrounds. The subject of diversity then shifted to racial injustice toward African Americans following the deaths of Floyd and Taylor, and locally, the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery. That’s why the panel of speakers chose to discuss these matters with the hope that people watching across the country will walk away with a better understanding of racial, social and ethnic injustice and discrimination. Organizers said it’s OK to protest what is perceived to be a racial or social injustice if the protest does not involve violence or the threat of violence.
