At the Stand Against Racism event, at the YWCA Princeton last Friday, those who discussed the documentary "The Princeton Plan" agreed that everyone needs to continue the conversations about how Princeton's desegregation plan worked. It was 1948 when Princeton desegregated its classrooms by merging two schools -- the school in the traditionally black neighborhood and the one on Nassau Street.

Continuing the idea started by the two Presbyterian churches and the UU congregation, each year NIOT acknowledges and presents small financial gifts to Princeton High School and John Witherspoon Middle School students, who, according to the judgment of the school officials, best exemplify the values expressed in the NIOT mission statement—for exceptional ability in working with a diverse community and for serving as role models for their peers in pursuing peaceful, healthy, and safe school environments.

The By-Standers Dilemma: Drama and Dialogue on Bullying

EVENT DETAILS:
Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Princeton Public Library
65 Witherspoon Street Community Room
Princeton, NJ 08542

 The second in the Not In Our Town series "Bullying: Changing the Culture" will explore the internal conflicts experienced by bystanders who witness bullying or other mistreatment. Through interactive drama and discussion, adults and young people will learn how to handle bullying situations in the community and in schools. The program will address such issues as the role race can play in a bullying incident - and the potential consequences of intervening. Parents whose children may be bystanders may find the program particularly useful.
