Morristown Task Force on Diversity

Morristown Task Force on Diversity Our Vision is to make Morristown a city where all are valued and are welcomed and celebrated for the uniqueness they add to our common life.

The organization now known as Morristown’s Task Force on Diversity was established in 2008 by then city mayor, Barbara “Sami” Barile as the Mayor’s Task Force on Diversity. In 2010 we became part of the Rose Center family of organizations and changed our name to Morristown’s Task Force on Diversity. Although we are no longer an official part of city government, we continue to maintain significant

connection with that entity. We see our work of building awareness and relationships within our community as public service. Our commitment to promote diversity in our community includes within it, a commitment to justice. Opening ourselves to learn about others and be able to celebrate differences is especially important for our population and history.

In the newspaper world, every day brings a new story, a new deadline, and a new challenge. Some days the waters are calm, and some days they're rough—but we keep moving forward.
We keep telling the stories that matter, celebrating our community's successes, documenting its history, and shining a light on the people and events that make our hometown special.
Through every edition, every interview, and every late night, our mission remains the same as everyone’s favorite little blue Disney fish, Dory: just keep swimming.

Thank you for reading, supporting local journalism, and taking this journey with us. 📰❤️
