On Friday, February 19th, Manchester s chapter of the NAACP hosted a community forum at Manchester s campus of Springfield College. This forum s topic was entitled Then and Now 1965 vs. 2016. Have Things Changed? At this event several figures involved in Manchester s NAACP chapter and other community members, such as Manchester s police chief, Nick Willard, spoke of racism during the Civil Rights Movement and compared it to racism in today s society. Panelists spanning generations were invited to speak about racism in the time they grew up (then) or are growing up (now). Among these panelists was Nora Jaber, a Central senior and one of the student speaker s at Central s recent Martin Luther King Jr. assembly. She was invited to deliver her speech at this event. Her speech focused on the extent to which MLK s dream has been satisfied. She also talked about her personal experiences growing up as a minority in New Hampshire.
