Pasadena Village’s 1619, Lingering Imprint Discussion Group has invited Alma Stokes to speak at their July 19 Zoom meeting.
Alma Stokes is a prominent figure in race relations from Pasadena, California. Known for her tireless advocacy and community work, she has dedicated much of her life to improving racial harmony and equality in her city. Born and raised in Pasadena, Alma witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by communities of color, which fueled her passion for social justice. Alma Stokes has been recognized for her extensive contributions to education and community service in Pasadena.
Pasadena Village’s “1619, The Lingering Imprint” group was inspired by the New York Times’ magazine issue, “1619 Project.” This is a safe place to talk about the history of racism in America, to understand its origins and its residual impact. Dick Myers, organizer of the group often invites informative guest speakers, and always welcomes new participants to join their twice a month discussion, on the first and third Fridays.
