The Harrison Community Task Force on Race Relations gathered for the group's twice-monthly meeting July 17 at the local Chamber of Commerce to discuss a billboard campaign.

The Harrison Community Task Force on Race Relations has worked since 2003 to reconcile a racial cleansing that destroyed the town's historic black district more than a century ago. This summer, the task force plans to erect an electronic billboard to transmit the message that Harrison is a diverse and welcoming place.
