Blount County United is a community organization committed to working for racial and social justice in Blount County, Tennessee. Our BCU membership is interracial, intergenerational, interdenominational, and interfaith, and together we promote acceptance, understanding and justice in our hometown. BCU members are committed to the idea that differences in people and cultures will lead to a more productive, inclusive and innovative environment and we further believe that We Are Stronger Together. This Symposium helps individuals and organizations to learn how to appreciate our differences and work better together, and how we can use what we learn to work towards a more inclusive Blount County and World!
