Most hate crimes in the United States happen as a result of racism targeted upon victims. The YWCA Knoxville works to fulfill their mission of empowering women through diversity and eliminating racism. Every year, the YWCA Knoxville holds a 5k and 1 mile walk to promote a positive anti-racism stance in the community. Individuals and teams register for the annual event, numbering over hundreds of participants. This event successfully unites the Knoxville community and is a fun and inspiring way to promote a positive mindset.
2010's Race Against Racism is being held on Saturday, January 16th at the Phyllis Wheatley Center off of Cruze Street in downtown Knoxville.
Individuals and teams are encouraged to participate! Make a difference and join other members of the community in this positive effort to eliminate racism. Every volunteer makes a difference! For more information about registration, visit the YWCA Knoxville's website at www.ywcaknox.com or come into the downtown center at 420 West Clinch Avenue.
