>This year our community will have the fortune of having Rubin “Hurricane” 
Carter as a Keynote Speaker for the event at 3:15PM.  “Hurricane” has been 
a champion within the civil rights movement and has dedicated his life to 
providing a beacon of hope to those whom have lost their way.  Rubin Carter 
has spoken with former President Clinton on issues related to the death penalty, 
addressed the General Assembly at the United Nations, and has spoken alongside 
President Nelson Mandela.  His insight and wisdom into the realm of health and 
its relationship to violence will set a foundation for an in-depth dialog 
amongst our residents.
