Recently an organization calling itself White Voices of America (WVA) has targeted the Tri-Cities area to “unite fellow white kindred” at an upcoming “family picnic and political discussion” at a local public park. According to advertisements posted by WVA in Tri-Cities parks and public areas, “you must be of pre-dominant white ancestry to join or attend any gatherings of WVA.” The Lakeshore Ethnic Diversity Alliance (LEDA), a broad-based grassroots organization founded in 1996, urges all members of the Tri-Cities community to reject a whites-only mind-set and to commit to fostering a community that includes and respects all its members. Whites-only values are not Tri-Cities values.

To address this important community issue, LEDA invites you to a public forum at the Lakeshore Middle School auditorium on Thursday, June 2nd, 7 to 9 p.m.

Please come, everyone!!!!

Also, I'll get to the previous post's comments shortly! Oooh, and please be advised that on the third year anniversary of eastmeetswest at livejournal, I've decided to go friends-only. So make sure you're friends with me if you want to continue reading! :)
