Diversity Wall Unveiling at SBPL on Nov. 18

The Diversity Wall will be unveiled on Sunday, Nov. 18, 2018 at 1 p.m. at the South Brunswick Public Library, 110 Kingston Lane in Monmouth Jct. All are welcome.

The Diversity Wall dedication ceremony will be hosted by the Library and is expected to be attended by local leaders, Boy Scout of America leadership and more than 200 local citizens. It will include Scout Salute, Pledge of Allegiance, and recital of Star Spangled Banner. This event will provide a forum to recognize diversity in South Brunswick and efforts of local volunteers.

The Diversity Wall is an Eagle Scout Service Project by Param Shah, a local citizen of South Brunswick Township and a high school student at Rutgers Preparatory School. Its objective is to deliver a message of strength, unity and harmony while embracing diversity. In this age where a wall is seen as a mechanism that divides people, The Diversity Wall, with Planet Earth in the middle, consists of flags from the 196 U.N. member countries. It delivers the message of the United States motto “e pluribus unum” (out of many, one) to this world.

The Diversity Wall is a volunteer community service project built with support from more than 100 local volunteers and funding from local citizens and businesses. The Diversity Wall is a reminder to us all that people from various backgrounds and different parts of the world can live together in peace and harmony. A wall by the people, of the people and for the people.
