Clarkston: A Real Story of Community Change

Join us for an evening which brings together people currently living,

working, and making change happen in the town that inspired Third Country:
Clarkston. In this 1.1 square mile town 10 miles from downtown Atlanta, 60
languages are spoken and one-third of residents are foreign born, including
many refugees from around the globe. Hear more about this town’s journey in
becoming a welcoming place for a diverse community.

The evening includes presentations by the panelists followed by a Q

& A.
