FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Indiana’s NewsCenter) - The Stand Against Racism movement returned to the Fort Wayne YWCA with its continued goal of bringing people together from all walks of life to raise awareness that racism still exists.

Friday afternoon a group stood together in front of the YWCA on Spy Run Avenue just north of the downtown area, staging a protest-style rally drawing awareness to the racist claims still being committed across the United States.

The protest is part of a national campaign “Stand Against Racism” that aims to bring together like-minded organizations that share one vision of eliminating racism and celebrating the richness of diversity
