Prayer, drama and conversation will be among the ways the Fresno Pacific University community participates in "Stop the Hate—Build a Culture of Peace" October 1-5.
Local efforts are being organized by a campus committee headed by Donna Callahan, social work faculty. "Stop the Hate" began at California State University, Fresno, in 1997 after the racially motivated assault of a CSUF student.
