NYU Chaplain Khalid Latif said, Hate affects people of every race, religion, ethnicity and sexual orientation so students and faculty will stand (and learn) in solidarity to work for harmony at NYU.
Professors, students and other community leaders will lead the teach-in with stories and lessons in the fight for tolerance. The event will also include a cappella and spoken word performances by student groups. In remembrance of the recent tragedy at Fort Hood, the event will end with a moment of silence for the victims.
- WHAT: Harmony NYU, A Campaign Against Hate
- WHERE: Grand Staircase, NYUs Kimmel Center, 60 Washington Square South (at LaGuardia Place)
- WHEN: Tuesday, November 17, 12:30 p.m.
