Join us in Eastern North Carolina for the second year celebrating the National Day of Racial Healing! This year's event will include a resource fair from 4pm-5pm to share how departments, centers, organizations, etc. are promoting racial healing, followed by dinner with an engaging speaker, Kristal Brent Zook, from 5pm-6pm. The event is FREE, but registration is required. We hope to see you there!
We are a 501c3 nonprofit. With volunteer mediators and restorative practice facilitators we help people move through conflict in a healing way. With the support of 2 restorative practice facilitators we are inviting the community to join us in a Healing Circle.
This intimate event will comprise facilitated discussion exploring the topic of racial healing broadly, but also in the contexts of holistic wellness, economic enfranchisement, and the power of narrative.
We will be holding our second annual Unity Walk to share the history of how our campus celebrates MLK Day which will lead into Chapel Service held by student leaders. A meal will be served following Chapel Service.
On Tuesday, January 16 join us at 7PM The Union for Contemporary Art will mark the National Day of Racial Healing with a stage reading and community discussion of "Confederates" written by Dominique Morisseau.
"Confederates" is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
Synopsis
Two Black American women – an enslaved rebel and a professor at a contemporary university – are having parallel experiences of institutional racism, though they live over a century apart. Tony-nominated playwright Dominique Morisseau's exacting new play explores the reins that racial and gender bias still hold over American educational systems today.

The Austin Justice Coalition and the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health have partnered to bring the inaugural National Day of Racial Healing event in Austin, TX!
#NDORHATX will be a day of collaboration and enlightenment as they bring the Austin community together through discussions on the critical issues of racism, bias, inequity, and injustice. The event will not only enlighten but also empower attendees as we explore the intersections of race and well-being.
There will be free on-site childcare for children 12 and under, free food and refreshments, and CapMetro has donated 500 free public transportation passes for attendees who need them. Bi-lingual staff will also be on-site for non English speaking community members.
