On November 17, 1943, the Mayor's Friendly Relations Committee was created by resolution of Cincinnati City Council. The Committee was the second group of its type established in the US. On March 17, 1965 the City Council adopted Ordinance 112-1965 providing for the establishment of the Cincinnati Human Relations Commission (CHRC). Since 1943, the agency has remained steadfast in its efforts to help our community to overcome prejudice and discrimination, build mutual respect and understanding, and become more harmonious and cohesive.

Proceeds from this event will be used to support the agency’s Community Outreach and Engagement efforts. CHRC has been charged with listening to & working with the community to overcome prejudice and discrimination and build mutual respect and understanding. By bringing individuals and groups together for dialogue & sharing cultural experiences we can have an impact.

We only have 200 seats available for this event & anticipate that it will sell out so please do not delay.
