FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. - Four of the five members of the Navajo Nation Human Rights Commission recently visited the communities of Winslow and Flagstaff to hear public testimony regarding race relation issues in areas including housing, education and civil rights. Over three hours was spent in the chamber of the Flagstaff City Council listening to complaints ranging from cultural insensitivity, mistreatment and disrespect by places of employment and by places of business, to clear, undisguised racism.
