The Dayton Unit of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) today will host a town hall titled, “The Hamas-Israeli Conflict: Pathways to Peace!”

The event will take place at 6:45 pm at Grace United Methodist Church located at 1001 Harvard Blvd. The panelists will be Youssef A. Elzein, Greater Dayton Peace Coalition; the Rev. Corey Cunningham, Inspiration Church; and Vilo Westwood, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. 

The moderator will be the Rev. Renard D. Allen, Jr., chair of the Dayton Unit NAACP Religious Affairs Committee.

“The Dayton Unit NAACP is highly concerned about the Hamas-Israeli Conflict and does not want what has happened globally to affect us locally,” said Dr. Derrick L. Foward, president of the Dayton Unit NAACP. “Hate has no place in the Dayton Region.”

Founded in 1915, the Dayton Unit of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is the city’s oldest and largest nonpartisan civil rights organization. Its members throughout the Dayton Region and Montgomery County are the premier advocates for civil rights in their communities.
