A Night Of Listening and Learning Tuesday

The Reading community is invited to attend "A Night of Listening and Learning," to be held Tuesday from 7-9 p.m. in the Reading Memorial High School Performing Arts Center.

This is the kickoff event for Reading Embraces Diversity (RED), a new community action group, and it comes after numerous incidents where racist graffiti has been spread around the Reading community, much of it at the high school.

The Forum will start at 7 p.m. with a presentation by Dr. Anna Ornstein, a child psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor. There will an update on town, police, and clergy responses to these incidents and a time for community questions during a panel discussion. There will be music from local choirs, and opportunities for people to sign up for future events.
