Austin Public Library Celebrates Third Annual 2024 National Day Of Racial Healing !

GovState National Day of Racial Healing event will include a keynote speaker, racial healing beads, a little book on racial healing, and a racial healing circle.

We will show how to assimilate and share knowledge about Prejudice, examine the Roots of Prejudice and how it manifests itself in all of us, discuss mitigation strategies and then emphasize the methods by which we can eradicate its major components through Education.

The week will begin on Tuesday, January 16, 2024 with a speech by the Mayor and some local performances by Flamenco dancers and other Albuquerque artists.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, January 17th and 18th, Explora will host field trips for local Minority Student Unions. During the entire month of January, the museum exhibits will be embellished with Biographies and pictures of minority scientists who discovered, invented, or re-defined our knowledge of the exhibit in front of us. The entire city will be able to learn about our true shared history, and acknowledge (and thank!) those who have historically been ignored and overlooked in scientific fields. Also at the museum, you'll find local artists and artisans creating and sharing their art in a variety of forms; including protest art, screen-printing, muralism, and storytelling.
On Sunday, January 21st, we will conclude the week with a Teen Summit, where Albuquerque Teens will gather to connect, discuss, and grow together.

This gathering takes advantage of the holiday season to bridge the socio-economic & racial divide between four diverging neighborhoods. Set in a geographic context emblematic of the stronghold of gerrymandering, our goal is to celebrate diversity by demonstrating the deep-seated intersectionality between the “haves” and the “haves (differently).” Please join us!

Rest & Play: A Joyful Path to Healing from Racism

In the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Wayne State University campus collaborates every January to host this National Day of Healing from Racism event. We learn how to talk about racism's impact and how to use practices to guide us in healing from racism.

This day-long event is free to attend and open to all from 10 am to 6 pm.

The event will include an interview with some who have experienced discrimination, but have gained strength and hope from it. We will also include the foundations for Prejudice and Mitigation Strategies for those who understand the values of Open-mindedness and are Ready.

We will go back in time on February 17th, 2024 at the Greensboro History Museum. Seven great people will be honored by seven great performers. The time is now, the time is right to honor the legacy of true warriors. The roads they traveled may have been different but their final destination was the same. Equality for Black America. Malcolm X, Ella Baker, Medgar Evers, James Baldwin, Angela Davis, Fannie Lou Hammer, and Martin Luther King will take us on an unbelievable journey, a journey that defines their greatest strength.

One Love Global will host a hybrid program including a healing circle and opportunities for action. Follow One Love Global on Facebook and visit www.oneloveglobal.org for updates and registration.

We are planning a school wide event rooted in how music has healed Black folks, folks of color, and different cultures. This event shares about Dr. King, his ministry and his relationship with Mahalia Jackson – the story, the music… and goes on to a more inclusive landing, ending with a school wide/community wide sing-a-long.
