After a long and difficult government shutdown many Ohioans are looking for a moment to reconnect, reflect, and move forward together. Few figures symbolize unity, courage, and community more than Rosa Parks.

This year marks the 20th Annual Statewide Tribute to Rosa Parks — 20 years since I led the effort for Ohio to become the first state to designate December 1 as Rosa Parks Day.

It remains a milestone that unites our communities and leaders.

You are invited to join us for this year’s The Power of One: 20th Annual Statewide Tribute to Rosa Parks and Community Leaders Forum as we honor her legacy and lift up the values that continue to shape our community.
