Elon University builds relationships between students, staff by hosting the Racial Day of Healing Luncheon

The Office of Inclusive Excellence and Education Development and the Center for Race, Ethnicity, and Diversity Education hosted their annual Racial Day of Healing Luncheon in McEwen Dining Hall. This event was created to give the Elon community a chance to hear and learn from each other's stories of racial differences.  Jameka Pinnix, assistant director of Inclusive Excellence Education and Development, said she hoped for this event to bring educational awareness and relationship building to Elon.  “Everyone doesn't know this event is for everyone – it can be assumed in so many ways, but this isn't just about racial healing, it’s also racial education,” Pinnix said.

Alamance County Democratic Party marks Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Inauguration through service

Alamance County resident Elaine Malone taught theater in Atlanta when Martin Luther King Jr.’s children began to attend her school soon after his death. She formed a personal connection to the family, which is why she makes it a point to recognize MLK Day each year by participating in community service.  This year was no different. On Monday at 4 p.m., Malone volunteered at the Alamance County Democratic Party Headquarters, where she has been volunteering and attending events since she moved to the area five years ago. Participating in one of four events ACDP hosted for its “day of service,” she and other volunteers made Valentine’s Day cards for community members in senior living facilities.
