Tonight we have invited community leaders from many different sectors of the community to join us in a panel to respond to the circle. The leaders are:
• Imam Taqiuddin Ahmed, Islamic Society of Central New York
• Dr. Maritza Alvarado, Director, Spanish Action League
• Mr. Bill Byrne, CEO, Byrne Dairy
• Mr. Calvin Corridors, President, Syracuse City School Board
• Reverend Dr. Ronald Davis, Hopps Memorial AME Church
• Chief Gary Miguel, Syracuse City Police Department
• Mr. Nicholas "Nick" Pirro, Onondaga County Executive
We will be asking them three key questions:
• What are your reactions to the circle that you have just seen on WCNY-TV?
• Where do you think we are as a community in terms of ending racism and improving race relations?
• Where do we go from here?
