OVERVIEW

I am pleased to announce that HRC-Las Vegas in association with the Abundant Peace United Church of Christ will present "A Salute to Black History". This will take place Friday, February 28, 2014-7:00pm at the Cambridge Recreational Center, 3930 Cambridge Street, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119. The Theme is entitled "Exploring the Diversity Among Us". It is incumbent upon us to connect the dots in our historical graph and take our rich heritage to the next level. The African-American culture has always been full of diversity, much of by force, but nevertheless full and ever-learning. While we are a people of enormous depth and mobility there is still an underlying movement among us that negates change. The expansion of our future depends on our ability to continue to thrive in all aspects of life to include such themes as Illiteracy, Interracial Relationships, Self-Identification, Women's Rights, Homophobia, and Marriage Equality. This year's Guest speaker is Anthony L. Johnson, Washington,DC. Mr. Johnson is an experienced national security policy professional and veteran leader with over 18 years of experience in the public and private sectors. His expertise includes national security policy and strategy; US military concept and doctrine development; identity-based conflict; innovation and adaptation in special operations and of U.S. Special Operations Forces. In addition Tony has served as a civilian advisor to senior leaders at the Department of Defense and worked on mission critical projects for Department of Homeland Security, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and the Defense Science Board. He is a Distinguished Naval Graduate of Norwich University; a graduate of the NATO Special Operations Forces Training and Education Programme in Belgium; a Security Fellow with the Truman National Security Project, an Aspen Institute Ideas Scholar, and a former United States Naval Officer. Tony is a native of California. He grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada and now lives in Washington,D.C. with his husband Juan and their dog Tiger. Attached please find a flier that promotes the event.
