The City of Atlanta has a commission that’s working to make sure all its citizens are treated equitably.
The Human Relations Commission, which started back in 2000, recently resumed operations after a three-year hiatus due to COVID-19.
According to the city’s website, the nine-member commission was created to establish and promote mutual respect and understanding within the city of Atlanta. The commission investigates and hears complaints regarding discrimination and makes recommendations on how to resolve complaints.
On Wednesday’s edition of “Closer Look with Rose Scott” Carden Wyckoff, the chair of Atlanta’s Human Relations Commission, and Bridgette Simpson, the co-founder and executive director of Barred Business, who was recently appointed to the commission, share their personal stories that led them to advocacy work.
They also talked more about the function of the commission and the importance of all people being treated fairly.
