Chaplain Jonathan Galia led the Coalition of Ethnic Minority Leaders saying the diverse groups seek public cultural exchange and education to show Finney County is a majority minority community. A town hall at Kenneth Henderson Middle School drew a packed audience as officials discussed potential acquisition of Lee Town hall.
