Join us for an Instagram Live discussion on what the community of Brownsville can teach us about local and national racial healing. The conversation will be facilitated by Clory Jackson, founder of The Brownsville Project, a grass-roots organization combining transformative justice and live performance to help communities confront and heal from suppressed history. The Brownsville Project advocates for reparations, healing and remembrance for Brownsville, a historically Black community in Maryland displaced by Frostburg State University. Clory will discuss key learnings and struggles from the community's search for racial healing and repair, such as the process of undergoing a Truth & Reconciliation Commission. The IG Live will also include a Q&A. Tune in at 6pm EST to join this discussion!

This 2-part series is ideal for people with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and those impacted by societal events, systemic racism, and structural injustices. We highly encourage youth and their families to participate in these virtual sessions.

Regardless of your race, ethnicity, nationality, background, etc. ALL are welcome to participate in these sessions to listen and learn. We want to inspire allies and co-conspirators to do the individual and collective work to improve consciousness, break down barriers, and dismantle unfair systems that are rooted in anti-Blackness. We aim for these two sessions to be valuable and life-changing experiences for people to embrace diversity, inclusion, equality, equity, to ensure justice, healing, belonging, hope, and liberation.

In solidarity with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation National Day of Racial Healing (January 16th), we invite you to join a discussion on healing and transgressing colorism in the Latino community. Our Executive Director, Angela Mictlanxochitl, will share work and insight from elder in spirit world and scholar Dr. Roberto Cintli Rodriguez, testimonios from Tenoch Huerta's 'Orgullo Prieto', and welcomes the stories of reconciliation in your community. Colorism is the prejudice or discrimination against individuals with a dark skin tone, typically among people of the same ethnic or racial group. Colorism due to systemic injustice and colonial influences has become a behavior within many of our customs both private and public. The goal in this discussion is not too shame but to listen to one another's experiences and to learn how we can change our behaviors for racial justice and healing in our community. Leading with compassion and growth!

In 2020, Commissioner Larry Johnson sponsored legislation to declare racism as a public health crisis in DeKalb County, acknowledging that racism has played a significant role in health outcomes, socioeconomic factors, and psychosocial stressors – especially in the Black community.

A deliverable from this resolution is to continue the conversation and engage the community in healing as we move forward as a County. The National Day of Racial Healing brings ALL people together to inspire collective action to create a more just and equitable world.

In honor of the National Day of Racial Healing, Commissioner Johnson will host a virtual round table discussion themed “Moving Forward, but Not Forgetting Our Past.” The panel will be moderated by Sharon Stroye, Director of the Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation Initiative at Emory University.

This year we will celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,” said Commissioner Larry Johnson. “ This round table is just one way for us to celebrate our achievements, acknowledge the work still to be done, and promote continued efforts towards a more inclusive and equitable society.”
