The richness of racial diversity is part of Lewiston-Auburn’s present, not merely its future, according to Madeleine Massey, coordinator of membership services at the YWCA. The present-day diversity, Massey said is the reason she is helping to coordinate the agency’s annual Race for Diversity Day, an event aimed at children and their families. It will be held on Saturday at the YWCA from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
