A new diversity driven group is also planting its roots in the Lehigh Valley.
"The Rising Sun Initiative" was created to honor efforts by African Americans in our region, as well as to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Allentown.
The newly formed group announced Tuesday a full calendar of events and collaborations with businesses, theaters and senior centers.
"We welcome you, the community, a diverse and collective whole of Lehigh County and the city of Allentown, to celebrate with us the history that belongs to all of us," said Kari Homes.
The group's first meeting is set for next Monday at the Lehigh Valley Senior Center.
