Michael Evora's Prism of Praise Community Gospel Choir concluded the Jan. 14 program, which was held at the Providence Black Repertory Company. The roundtable is held yearly to educate coalition members and others on local civil rights issues that may come before the General Assembly.

Shanna Wells of the Rhode Island Commission on Women, left, hosted the program. State Rep. Joanne Giannini, of Providence, center, with microphone, spoke of the importance of passing legislation to abolish human trafficking in Rhode Island.
