Race Relations Coalition Moves Toward Office of Racial Equality in Los Angeles

Now that the month-long conversation has been had, organizers of the event are hoping to move toward creating an Office of Racial Equality here. This, they said, would help strengthen inclusion for L.A.’s most marginalized communities, who often have the least access to resources.
