The director of Bloomington’s Safe and Civil City program Beverly Calender-Anderson discusses efforts to promote civility and diversity in our community. Helen Harrell gets to know Beverly as a person: her childhood, college years, experiences with violence against women and children, perspectives on racism and reflections on the civil rights movement. Deeply affected by the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, Jr., Calender-Anderson brings a unique and rational approach to divisive social issues that still plague our city and country.
