First Unity Day lunch planned for today
A group of Cincinnatians known as Changing Hearts and Minds will host Greater Cincinnati's first Unity Day lunch today at Fountain Square.
The free event, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., is designed to help Cincinnatians put away the often convoluted conflicts about race to share a few simple niceties — a leisurely lunch, some good music, a friendly atmosphere.
A diverse sampling of Cincinnati's sounds will be on hand. Taking the stage will be the Grammy-winning gospel choir Dr. Charles Fold and the Charles Fold Singers, Over-the-Rhine Steel Drum Band and Wild Carrot.
Sprinkled in between: talks by Mayor Charlie Luken, mayoral candidate and former news personality Courtis Fuller and the Rev. Calvin Harper, leader of the AmosProject, an interfaith coalition of Christian congregations in the Cincinnati area.
