A two-day conference in Minneapolis is examining how cities and small towns across the midwest are dealing with racial diversity. The Building Inclusive Communities conference is an opportunity for civic leaders, law enforcement and human rights activists to discuss ways to make the midwest more welcoming to new immigrants. Conference goers are hearing first-hand immigrant stories, watching films and sharing individual experiences. Therese Gales directs the Education, Refugee & Immigrant Program at Minnesota Advocates for Human Rights. She says immigrants share stories about facing numerous challenges when trying to integrate into a new community.
