The University Libraries are hosting a conversation with Dr. DeWayne Mays. In celebration of the National Day of Racial Healing, Dr. Mays will lead us through a discussion on Truth and Reconciliation work in Lincoln. Dr. Mays will share about the Roots of Justice project and other works in Lincoln to promote racial healing. The conversation will focus on restoration and aim to facilitate trust and relationship-building through dialogue on the impact of racism. During the event, attendees will learn, reflect, and discuss to build awareness and understanding of racism, racial healing, and related efforts in our community.

For the conversation, please bring and be prepared to share about something that represents you, your family, and/or your culture.
