The Road to Justice
The Road to Justice follows two groups on a civil rights tour through the American South as they reckon with our painful legacy of racial injustice. The first, a group of predominantly Black middle school students from Chicago: and the second, a group of older Americans who lived through the 1960s Civil Rights era. They come face-to-face with the leaders and everyday heroes whose courage and perseverance paved the way for future generations. View the trailer here.
Our organization will include a conversation about this National Day of Racial Healing during our all-staff meeting on January 19th. We may or may not watch a brief video followed by a discussion about what we can do individually, and collectively, to contribute to universal racial healing.
