To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Gwinnett residents are invited Thursday to a free program dubbed "An America for All of Us."

The event will start at 7 p.m. at the Gwinnett Justice & Administration Center at 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville. There will be a film screening of award-winning documentary "Vincent Who?" and  a discussion on racial profiling, hate crimes and legal protections in Gwinnett County.

The Gwinnett County Human Relations Commission (Gwinnett HRC) and South Asian Americans Leading Together (SAALT) are hosting the event in conjunction with other civil rights and community organizations.
