The HRC held it's 40th Anniversary reception on November 6, 2022 in the Urban
County Government Center Ballroom. The reception was held to honor the
dedicated people responsible for starting 40 years of civil rights work in the
Lexington community. Those who played an integral role in forming the
Lexington Commission on Human Rights, one of the first local civil rights
enforcement agencies in the South, were recognized in a short presentation
during the reception.
