Diversity has always been a part of New Hampshire. Today, our state’s diversity is deepening and it’s becoming even more vital to the health of our state’s economy, our institutions and our cities and towns. Simply, our state’s success will rely in many ways on the decisions we make today regarding communities of color, equity and injustice.
While we are not as diverse as other states, we are rapidly becoming more so. Referring to our state as ‘lily-white’ New Hampshire discounts the contributions communities of color have made and continue to make to New Hampshire. Inequity isn’t a problem for some other state to deal with. It exists here too and it’s ours to solve.

When Gloria Timmons first moved from Connecticut to New Hampshire three decades ago, seeing a face that looked like hers felt like an event.
“In 1990, I used to run across the street if I saw another Black person and say, ‘Hi, my name is Gloria Timmons, how long have you been here, where’d you come from?’ and that sort of thing,” she recalled.
