Get Involved | Conclusion | Sources
The most effective way to be an advocate for anti-racism is to get involved and help fight racism in the community.
Carlisle and the Greater Carlisle area have a significant history of racism, which can be traced back to historical events such as slavery and the founding of the Carlisle Industrial Indian School and is as recent as Fred Phelps's attempt to rally in Carlisle in 2005. Despite this long and continuing history of overt racism, many individuals and organizations in Carlisle and the Greater Carlisle area have been proactive in forming groups and creating a safer environment that is more respectful of diversity.
Other organizations in the Carlisle area, such as Hate Free Harrisburg and the Carlisle Victory Circle, are making strides to combat racism.
