In the Community from ACEH, December 5, 2011   From the Alliance for Cultural and Ethnic Harmony    "If you assume that there's no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, there are opportunities to change things, there's a chance for you to contribute to making a better world. That's your choice." ...Noam Chomsky [The Chronicles of Dissent]     This information is provided by the Alliance for Cultural and Ethnic Harmony; Events list is also posted on the website www.harmonyalliance.org  To learn more about ACEH, see us on Facebook: ACEH- Alliance for Cultural and Ethnic Harmony or websiteor call 392-5086.     Please help support ACEH.  If you are already a member, you will receive an email reminder when your membership is expiring.
