In observance of this year’s Hate Crimes Awareness Week, the University of San Diego will present speakers, discussions, films, a vigil, an open mic, and more to the local community.
Hate Crimes Awareness Week is held annually during the fall semester at USD in an effort to raise awareness about hate crimes and intolerance within the community.
The week will kick off on Oct. 9 with a trip to the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, where participants will witness the dynamics of discrimination through interactive exhibits and special programs.
The week's events will also include a screening and panel discussion of Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness, which is scheduled to be held on Tuesday at 6:30 pm in USD's Warren Auditorium. The panel disscussion will be moderated by Fronteras reporter Jose Jimenez. Panel members include Dr. Alberto Pudillo, USD Ethnic Studies professor, as well as Tina Malka of the Anti-Defamation League and San Diego Hate Crimes District Attorney Oscar Garcia.
Fronteras: The Changing America Desk is a partner with Not In Our Town through our Inclusive Communities Campaign.
