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.
