Barbara Simmons, former Director of the Langhorne Peace Center, and currently a member of the Executive Board, NAACP Bucks County, attended the February 21, 2024, Newtown Human Relations Commission (HRC) meeting.
Ms. Simmons informed HRC members of her work on the Bucks County Mural Project, which invites police and community members to paint murals in Bucks County.
The goal is to allow people to get to know one another, begin to build trust and a relationship. The project includes murals in Morrisville, Falls Township Community Park, and Bristol Township Community Park.
At the NT HRC meeting, Ms. Simmons discussed the possibility of doing a mural involving three communities: Newtown Township, Newtown Borough, and Middletown. This is an edited audio recording of that discussion.
