Deserving recipients of the Race Relations award have served as role models for racial understanding and cooperation and have acted to bring about improvements in multi-culturalism in their community.

This category seeks to recognize those who have:

• Made significant efforts to encourage communication and improve relationships between persons of different racial and ethnic backgrounds
• Increased understanding or resolved conflicts between persons of different racial and ethnic backgrounds, or helped heal wounds created by racial or ethnic discord
• Stimulated action to eliminate racism in North Carolina communities

If you know of an “unsung hero” who has worked to improve race relations in their community, please nominate them for a Nancy Susan Reynolds Award.
