Panel Discussion for National Day of Racial Healing Today

The National Day of Racial Healing is a time to contemplate our shared values and create the blueprint together for #HowWeHeal from the effects of racism. Launched on Jan. 17, 2017, by W.K. Kellogg Foundation's Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation initiative, the National Day of Racial Healing is an opportunity to bring all people together in their common humanity and inspire collective action to create a more just and equitable world. The IDEALS Institute will provide local programming as a part of this larger nationwide initiative.  

The institute will host a 90-minute virtual panel titled: "What Does Healing Mean?" from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 17. The panelists will engage in conversation about what healing means for their respective communities and/or the communities that they serve. The panelists and moderator are:

The W.K.

In partnership with the Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation program, the American Association of Colleges and Universities works with higher education institutions across the country to develop self-sustaining, community-integrated TRHT Campus Centers. The U of A IDEALS Institute serves as a Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation campus location.
