On Friday, June 5th citizens are invited to celebrate the region’s diverse neighborhoods and discuss ways to maintain and grow them by attending a Cincinnati premiere of the upcoming PBS documentary: The New Neighbors: How One Town Created A Vibrant, Integrated Suburb.

The New Neighbors tells the moving story of how a... suburban town in New Jersey successfully reversed segregation and built a vibrant, integrated community. The film premiere is part of an Agenda 360 Transformational Dialog hosted by the Greater Cincinnati Commitment Alliance.

The award-winning filmmaker Andrea Torrice, a resident of Clifton, will be present at the event. “This film provides a roadmap for communities in the Greater Cincinnati area,” said Torrice, “to help revitalize themselves through a strategy of stable integration programs that have worked.”

The film event is being sponsored by Agenda 360, a group of over 30 civic, nonprofits and business leaders whose goals is to improve the region’s economic and cultural prosperity. The group identified building more racially inclusive communities as one of the key goals to improving the Cincinnati Region’s future economic prosperity and quality of life. “Diverse neighborhoods are part of our nation’s melting pot story,” said Myrita Craig, Executive Director of the Office of Agenda 360. “They are also critical to attracting the young professional entrepreneurial class – one of the three core goals of the Agenda 360 Action Plan.” The Plan calls for attracting 150,000 additional 20-34 year-olds to the region's workforce by 2020.

Following the screening, participants will be invited to participate in a discussion about the next steps needed to strengthen and promote intentionally-integrated communities in our region.


REGISTRATION is at 5:30 p.m., and the event begins promptly at 6 p.m. at the University of Cincinnati’s DAAP building in room 5401/Kaplan Auditorium. Sign up by calling (513) 579-3111.
