The Office of Civil Rights & Wage Enforcement will host the 2019 Civil Rights Week. The theme of the week is "B.I.A.S: Bringing Inherent Assumptions to Surface." The week of events will bring individuals of various backgrounds together to address, educate, and inform individuals on issues surrounding Civil Rights locally and nationally. Our hope is to spark continuous conversations on equity, build partnerships, and create advocates for social justice within the city and greater Baltimore region.
