Healing Racism Series

Healing Racism Series
The Center for the Study of Race and Democracy and the Healing Racism Committee Present
Your Racial Issue … Not My Problem?
Racism continues to tax our minds and ensnare our hearts.
It’s divisive, malignant, and a threat to the health of all
communities. Brown, Black or White, Asian or Indigenous,
racism affects us all; yet it is often seen as a singular
problem, affecting the “urban” and “underserved.” These
perceptions separate us on an issue that requires our unified
attention. To promote justice and engender positive change,
we must emerge from cultural silos, learn from each other,
and speak the truth about racism.
Join the Healing Racism Committee for this full-day
symposium where participants will learn from experts,
interact with peers, community leaders, and organizations
in the exploration of racial differences and the intersections
at which alliances can be forged and leveraged to eliminate
racism and promote harmony.
Space is limited. Registration Required.

This symposium is the last program of a four-part series addressing the
theme of solutions to racism. The Healing Racism Committee facilitates public
discussions concerning current events and topics related to racism, Arizona
communities and American society. Dialogs are designed to bring together
academic experts, community leaders, and citizens for engaging discussions
that encourage critical thinking and positive change.
