New purpose and duties for Human Rights Commission

From the City of Albert Lea:

At its Oct. 13 meeting, the Albert Lea City Council adopted a new purpose and duties for the Human Rights Commission. The commission once investigated claims of discrimination. With the State of Minnesota now leading these investigations, the local group will instead serve as a resource for all those seeking equal opportunities and advise the city council on human rights issues. Clockwise, from the lower right, are members Angie Hanson, Peggy Olson, Cesar Zamora Victorino, Jeremey Corey-Gruenes, Rev. Dr. Charles Alkula, Aruna Evenson and Mayor Rich Murray. The mayor recently visited the commission to thank them for volunteering. Learn more about the commission at this link.
