									The 
									Lincoln Diversity and Inclusion Commission 
									hosted an open forum panel discussion 
									meeting at the Second Baptist Church in 
									Lincoln on March 7. Commission Chairperson 
									Jeanette Harris welcomed the guests and 
									introduced fellow member Jennifer Hunt, who 
									would be serving as the panel discussion 
									moderator.
 Talks included personal experiences as a 
									minority in the community, how to address 
									the issues and have a positive outcome.
 
 In today's edition, LDN offers messages 
									shared at the gathering, and in a separate 
									article how the city of Lincoln, Lincoln 
									Memorial Hospital Community Health 
									Collaborative and the state of Illinois are 
									striving to bring changes.
