The Unalaska City School District will hold its third Multicultural Celebration Day on Friday. The public event is being organized by Russel Laforteza, a clerk and aide at the high school. This year, the Multicultural Celebration Day will take place at the high school's big gym to accommodate a larger audience, as there will be six different dance and music performances.
In this episode of "Island Interviews," Laforteza discusses how UCSD's Multicultural Celebration Day is a time to celebrate and raise cultural awareness within the community. He said it also gives students a sense of purpose.
This interview originally aired on KUCB on April 30, 2024.
