Silence No More

Our Public Declaration

Tired of being associated with racist groups, the below public declaration was composed by music producer Scott Hoffman and passed around town for signatures, in January of 2006. A few days yielded between 1,100 and 1,200 signatures, and that is when Hoffmann placed it in the Harrison Daily Times as a full page ad. Here is that declaration and some of the names of those who signed that page.

"We the undersigned citizens of Harrison, Arkansas, and surrounding areas do hereby denounce the blatant racism and bigotry of a very small minority in our community. We stand for respect, harmony and acceptance of all people. We do not want the fine city of Harrison, and its citizens to continue to be known worldwide as tolerant of hatred, racism and bigotry. By signing, we declare that we will remain SILENT NO MORE on this issue and will continue to speak out and change this perception of our town."
