1/9/14 - A local organization working to embrace and advocate the virtues of diversity in Livingston County will host its annual community celebration this month.
Diversity viewed through the eyes of local youth is the theme of the January 30th meeting at the Hartland Music Hall, when the Livingston Diversity Council will hold its annual membership meeting. The family friendly celebration of diversity will honor various individuals, including local filmmaker Buddy Moorehouse and his documentary-producing partner, Brian Kruger. They and Brighton resident Genna Urbain will be recognized for their special contributions to the advancement of diversity. Moorehouse and Kruger produced the documentary âBlack and Blue: The Story of Gerald Ford, Willis Ward and the 1934 Michigan-Georgia Tech Football Game,â nominated for Best Historical Documentary in the Michigan Emmy contest. After seeing the movie, Urbain, a 3rd-grader at the time, lobbied both the U of M Regents and the Michigan Legislature to honor Ward. Vocal entertainment at the gathering will be provided by the Hartland High School Choir. The public is welcome to attend and details can be found through the link below. (JM/JK)
