Clark Atlanta University to mark National Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Clark Atlanta University will mark National Domestic Violence Awareness Month with "The Call to True Beauty 2011," the university's annual advocacy, education and prevention campaign against dating violence and domestic violence. The series runs Oct. 16-21 and is sponsored by Avon Products and Verizon Wireless.

"Although our campus is not overrun with incidences of dating and domestic violence, even one case is too many," said Joseph H. Silver Sr., Clark Atlanta's provost and vice president for academic affairs.

This year's campaign launches publicly with an Oct. 1 rally from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Mitchell St. Plaza of Atlanta City Hall, including a live remote broadcast from The Jazz of the City, 91.9FM WCLK.
