This year's Naperville's Race Amity Day picnic was held in the late afternoon of Sunday June 9th, and was attended by close to 100 people. Following beautiful devotions, Dr Geneace Williams, Naperville's first Manager of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, spoke on her work in Naperville and upcoming events to be involved in as well as the meaning and mission of Race Amity. JIm Percic explained Race amity and the growing movement in Illinois, and read the Proclamation from the DuPage County Board. Cat Gaddis and her band gave an amazing performance.
