National Day of Healing from Racism
How do we heal from racism?
In the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we collaborate every January to host this event for the National Day of Healing from Racism.
Our 2024 theme was “Rest & Play: A Joyful Path to Healing from Racism" (see the flyer below). We learned how to talk about racism's impact and how to use practices to guide us in healing from racism. #HowWeHeal
Please save the date for our next National Day of Healing from Racism program on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2025 at Wayne State University!
