48th Annual Race Unity Picnic - A Celebration of the Oneness of Humankind! August 2006
The 48th Annual Race Unity Picnic was held in Maple Grove at Avery Park on Saturday, August 19.
The event was attended by friends from all over the Mid-valley area. It was co-sponsored by the Bahá’í Faith, the Corvallis Branch NAACP, the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission for the City of Corvallis, the Benton County Commission on Children and Families, and the Benton County Board of Commissioners.
During the wonderful lunch we enjoyed musical presentations by Ordinance (Celtic), Alexander Contreras (Costa Rican guitar), Ancient Ways (African marimbas) and Dave Chiller of Common Pulse (rhythm circle). The entire event was a definite reflection of strengthening our common belief in the oneness of humankind.
