The local Sikh community will be honored at a luncheon Thursday that also features the president of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
The Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee's annual luncheon will honor the Sikh community "for its exemplary calls for tolerance without vengeance" after white supremacist Wade Michael Page entered the Oak Creek temple Aug. 5 and killed six people and wounded four others. The event will be held at noon at the Italian Community Center. (Click here for more information)
The keynote speaker is Richard Cohen, the president of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Cohen's group tracked Page prior to the shootings and released a report last week chronicling Page's life in the years leading up to the temple shootings.
