The Peace and Unity Room at the United Way of Greater Atlanta's Gwinnett office in Duluth on Tuesday opened this week. The Rotary Club of Gwinnett sponsored the room.

For former Rotary Club of Gwinnett President Wayne Ellison, the idea of Gwinnettians looking beyond political and cultural divisions and being able to sit down, face to face, to talk out their difference is more than a vision.

It's something he feels is imperative.
