For Kislam Robinson, spoken word is one way he feels he can make a change.
"You have to work and try to find a resolution for these problems," he said.
He was one of the performers at Saturday's 17th annual Multicultural Children and Family Festival in Green Bay. His performance of original spoken word was one of many activities aimed at bringing the community together.
"[It's to] help people appreciate diversity and empower people in our community who are diverse so they feel like they can be a part of our community," said Randell Steele, Board President of the Multicultural Center of Greater Green Bay.
The Multicultural Center hosted the event, which included free ethnic food and traditional performances, along with booths and information for attendees.
With so much tension in our nation today, organizers said they hoped this event can be a source of positivity.
"It's really important for us to be able to have something good going on here in Green Bay to be able to appreciate it and talk good about," Steele said.
Green Bay Police got involved this year as a part of their efforts to improve relationships with the community.
"With all the civil unrest happening right now around the nation, this is an opportunity for us to actually celebrate unity in our community here in Green Bay," explained Steele.
The Multicultural Center of Greater Green Bay hosts many events throughout the year and helps people of all ethnic backgrounds.
