The National Day of Racial Healing 2025 in Battle Creek is a community gathering dedicated to advancing racial equity through meaningful action. Building on last year’s theme of Envisioning a Future Without Racism, this year’s focus, From Visioning to Action, calls us to put community-driven solutions into practice.

Join us on January 21, 2025, as we publicly unveil BCTRHT’s 5-year strategic plan—a roadmap inspired by the dreams, aspirations, and insights of Battle Creek residents. Together, we will work to dismantle the false hierarchy of human value and embrace our shared humanity. The event will feature a vibrant celebration with diverse cuisines, cultural performances and opportunities to connect with neighbors, fostering a united commitment to racial healing and transformation.

Come honor the voices and visions that shape our community and take steps toward a more inclusive and equitable future.

How do we heal from racism?

To heal from and end racism, we need to tell the truth about the past and current wrongs and address the consequences created by individual and systemic racism. #HowWeHeal

In the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we collaborate every January to host the National Day of Healing from Racism in an effort to heal the wounds created by racial, ethnic, and religious bias and build an equitable and just society where everyone can thrive.

We learn how to talk about racism’s impact and how to use practices to guide us on our journey of healing from racism.

This year’s theme, Reclaiming Humanity through Co-Liberation and Solidarity, emphasizes the importance of acknowledging our shared challenges and supporting one another as we work together to build a collective journey toward freedom, justice, and the restoration of our inherent dignity.

A half day of programming that is free to attend and open to all.

This is a repeat of the 11am visioning and healing circle experience for those unable to attend the lunch program.

After seven years of TRHT, we will look back and celebrate our accomplishments and plan our next steps together through a visioning process. Our healing circle is designed to build relationships as the foundation for our work together over the next year.

Explore the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and engage in interactive sessions about his impact on history, politics, the arts, social change and racial healing. To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Maryland Governor Wes Moore stated, “Studying history isn’t just about knowing what happened in the past. It’s about knowing our power in the present.”

Teach-in participants are welcome to register to attend one or all five interactive sessions, which will explore these topics in the context of Dr. King’s legacy and impact on participants’ own lives. Let’s learn from each other and study where we as a nation have been, where we are today and where we need to be in the future to advocate for social justice.

We host a annual Breakevery Chain walk for Human Sex-Trafficking and Mental Health awareness of Gun Violence.
