QUINCY, ILL. -- Many Voices, One Goal is a six week study circle happening in Quincy.

Quincy Human Rights Commission and the Quincy YWCA have teamed up to bring this circle group to the community.

The sessions start the week of February 20 and run for six weeks. Each group will have 8 to 10 people with different meeting times.
