Committees

The Little Rock Racial and Cultural Diversity Commission has served and continues to serve its mission in the following ways:

• Education Committee: To assist educational institutions in central Arkansas to share information and work together on initiatives to promote positive race relations and develop an understanding of other cultures.
• WorldFest Committee: This two day multicultural event celebrates our community’s diversity, offers educational family-oriented activities, and provides a positive model of valuing diversity.
• Fair Housing Committee: The Commission engaged in an effort that created a fair housing law, "substantially equivalent" to Federal law, and the State Fair Housing Commission, in order to strengthen our neighborhoods.
• Faith Alliance Committee: The Racial and Cultural Diversity Commission’s Faith Alliance Committee is a standing committee established in March 2003. It provides a vehicle through which faith-based leaders throughout the community can pursue relationships of increased understanding, mutual respect and cooperative involvement in the pursuit of social justice and community transformation.
