Hybrid Presentation on March 26th, at 5:30 p.m.

The Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine (HHRCMaine) is delighted to announce that the third distinguished lecturer for this year is Kit Thomason Crossman, Executive Director of The Maine Human Rights Commission (MHRC)—the state agency responsible for enforcing Maine’s anti-discrimination laws and promoting equal opportunity for all.

Kit’s talk will be on March 26th, at 5:30 p.m. in a hybrid format, live at the Michael Klahr Center or on Zoom.

Her presentation will explore how MHRC investigates complaints, promotes compliance, and provides resources to communities to prevent bias and foster inclusion. Participants will gain practical insight into current trends in civil rights issues in Maine and learn how schools and individuals can contribute to advancing the Commission’s mission of fairness and equity.

We hope you can join us to learn more about what MHRC is doing in our state, the Director’s view on its role in this moment in history, and share your thoughts during the question and answer session.

The event is free; please register and indicate if you will attend in person or virtually. Register here.
