3 <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />HUMAN RELATIONS MONTH <br />PROCLAMATION <br />WHEREAS, as we begin our journey into the new millennium it is of the utmost importance <br />that we take all steps necessary to eradicate practices of discrimination against individuals, which are <br />detrimental to the peace, welfare and progress of our County; and <br />WHEREAS, the Human Relations Commission believes that in order to achieve justice and <br />equal opportunity for all Orange County residents, we must all strive to create an atmosphere <br />where people are valued and accepted rather than merely tolerated, and therefore continue to <br />promote that idea through the theme: "Building Bridges: From Tolerance to Acceptance"; and <br />WHEREAS, the Human Relations Commission honors youth leaders, individuals and <br />businesses who exemplify the ideals of justice and equality in the tradition of Dr. Pauli Murray with <br />an award; and <br />WHEREAS, the Orange County Human Rights and Relations Commission and Department <br />have diligently served the County of Orange since 1995 are committed to promoting equal <br />treatment, opportunity and understanding throughout the community; and <br />WHEREAS, the County's Civil Rights Ordinance specifically prohibits discrimination based <br />on an individual's race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, disability, age, veteran status and <br />familial status; and <br />WHEREAS, the County recognizes the dignity and worth of each individual and desires to <br />promote and maintain a climate of good will among individuals, races, ethnic groups and persons of <br />varying social, religious and economic status, ancestry, sexual orientation, marital status or status <br />with regard to public assistance; <br />NOW, THEREFORE, We, The Board of County Commissioners of Orange County, North <br />Carolina, do hereby proclaim February 2003 as "HUMAN RELATIONS MONTH" in Orange <br />County and challenge our citizens to celebrate multiculturalism in our county by encouraging <br />citizens to embrace our diversity. <br />THISTHE 4th DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2003. <br />Margaret W.
