WILMINGTON A pandemic, plus social and civil unrest, and the political ire fanning its flames, have affected communities nationwide over the last year. After the killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and others in 2020, YWCA Lower Cape Fear responded by reaching out and tackling the subject of racism head-on. Last summer the organization launched Talk on Race, as part of its mission and makeup which for 104 years has centered on eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting inclusion in communities nationwide.
