AmericanTownsOnline. Fuang has developed a list which needs to be reviewed for postings and a plan of action once the speakers are confirmed. 5. For Housing, we still need to research housing Realtors who were active at the time to possibly be a panelist as well as a person involved in testing. 6. For Education, we still need to come up with a capable speaker who can inform us on the atmosphere, etc. as Lexington becomes involved with METCO. 7. For Community Relations, we need probably someone from the Council of Churches, Clergy, or Brotherhood – whatever that active group was called at the time. 8. We will develop a timeline for exhibit that shows when the National laws came into play and how Lexington citizens and town government reacted to them. 9. We need to develop a budget to cover transportation, printing, and other incidental costs in order for Al to petition the Selectmen for funding. We are interested in a couple of speakers coming from a distance such as Edgar smith and Landon Lindsey. There may be more candidates closer at hand. So far, we know that airfare from Charlotte to Boston is between $163 to $215 and from Jackson MS to Boston is between $390 to $460 as of May 9, 2011, departing Sat. 11/05/11 and returning on Sun or Mon. A weekday departure will be less expensive, however that will involve housing and entertaining our guests. We expect all members of the overall LHRC committee to take some Save-the- date postcards and flyers with information about LHRC and put them around. Respectively Submitted, Leona W. Martin for the LHRC 2011 Project Planning Committee LHRC PROJECT 2011 REPORT TO COMMITTEE -6/10/2011 Page 3
