UARR Participates in the Giants of Africa event in Tribute to Nelson Mandela

The President of the Urban Alliance on Race Relations, Gary Pieters and community leaders from a cross-section of Toronto, the United States, the Americas and Africa joined the Toronto Raptors CEO, Masai Ujiri at the Air Canada Centre for the #GiantsofAfrica #RiseAbove #1205 event in honour of the legacy of Nelson Mandela on the 1st anniversary of his passing.

The event was a great way to reflect on Nelson Mandela’s impact on equity, diversity and inclusion that reflects a pluralist society.

Importantly, it also was a motivation to community service and what some would describe as servant leadership. #LivingTheLegacy #RememberingMadiba #RememberingMandela
