"Leaders must be tough enough to fight, tender enough to cry, human enough to make mistakes, humble enough to admit them, strong enough to absorb the pain and resilient enough to bounce back and keep on moving.”

~Rev. Jesse Louis Jackson

Here in Montclair, our diversity is always on full display. We raised the Pan African Flag, light the crescent in recognition of Ramadan, and celebrate with the Lunar New Year parade. These observances side by side are a powerful reminder that community is not built on sameness but on shared respect. We honor the many cultures and faith traditions because they all contribute to One Montclair - one mankind, and we are all made better for it!

We encourage you to not only embrace the fight for freedom, justice and equality for all but to pick it up a notch by joining a committee to help foster a culture of respect for humanity, regardless of race, gender, class or religious affiliation but as one people united!
