Chattanooga Speaks, founded by Main Street Innovations, invites the public to join a free discussion panel to be held at The Camp House on Tuesday from 6-8:30 p.m. about race, culture and community.
"Events across the nation, and our city, are causing communities to come together and be solution orientated in the areas of race and equality. Not all people are doing this in a peaceful manner but Main Street Innovations has earned a reputation for bringing people together in the hardest of times and providing a neutral platform for creating change," officials said. "This specific panel is made up of all females who are from all walks of life and backgrounds and who truly represent a diverse group of race, careers, socioeconomic backgrounds and coming from all corners of our city. Men and women are invited to attend. The panel is comprised of women, but the problems affect us all. Its a discussion for everyone. We are expecting 200 - 250 guests in attendance."
The event will be hosted by TV 9 morning anchor Greg Funderburg and special guest will be educator and activist Mr. Franklin McCallie.
Sponsors include: City of Chattanooga, American Diabetes Association, The Camp House, LaPaz of Chattanooga, The Jump Fund, The Urban Lawn, Archway, and True North Custom Media.
