Since its inception, OCCRC has been hosting and co-sponsoring programs <br />to inform and educate the community about our local history of racial terror <br />violence and how its legacy is perpetuated today. Programs cover the <br />stories of advocates for justice, fighters for voting rights, and life for <br />everyday African Americans. W orking with historians, journalists, <br />researchers, and family history and genealogy specialists, OCCRC seeks <br />to create a solid history of each instance of racial terror lynching – what is <br />known about the individuals involved, both victims and perpetrators, their <br />families and descendants, their homesteads, churches and cemeteries, <br />and the likely locations of the lynchings. <br />Currently, OCCRC is co-lead by: Dr. Freddie Parker, Rep. Renee Price, <br />Sally Freeman, and Judge Hathaway Pendergrass. <br />How many Orange <br />County residents <br />does the organization <br />serve? <br />The Orange County Community Remembrance Coalition serves all <br />residents of Orange County, though primarily teenagers and adults. Our <br />programs are free and open to the public. W e therefore seek to serve at <br />least 126,000 of 148,700 OC residents. <br />Has your <br />organization <br />undergone any <br />Diversity, Equity, and <br />Inclusion (DEI) <br />training? If so, <br />please explain. If not, <br />please explain any <br />barriers that have <br />prevented you from <br />receiving this <br />training. <br />OCCRC as a whole has not undergone DEI training; yet the member <br />organizations separately and individuals on their own have participated in <br />such training. For example, Coalition members who also serve in local <br />government have taken the Government Alliance on Race and Equity <br />(GARE) training. <br />During FY24-25, will <br />your organization <br />receive operational <br />support funding from <br />the North Carolina <br />Arts Council or the <br />North Carolina <br />Department of <br />Natural and Cultural <br />Resources? <br />No <br />Organization's EIN 561558751.0 <br />Organization <br />W ebsite <br />https://www.humankindness.org/ <br />Authorizing Official's <br />Name <br />Erin Parish <br />Authorizing Official's <br />Title <br />Executive Director <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 16E66793-3E26-4E39-A35F-F0AC9D3BF45C
