"I think who really needs to heal are white people…the people who cause the harm are the people who need to do the healing, the reflection, the fixing." -Nikole Hannah-Jones, Kellog National Day of Racial Healing 2023

This event will introduce participants to Reckon With’s two core practices: Acknowledgment and Reparative Action. We welcome people of all racial identities to participate, and note that our practices are designed to be implemented in white affinity spaces.

We will open with a brief grounding exercise and a high level overview of our organization’s history. The event itself will consist of two parts.

In part one, participants will learn about false racial myths of white superiority and Black inferiority. The presenter will offer high level historical context of the false racial myths, how they have been used over time, and how they have evolved. We will discuss these myths briefly as a group in service of noticing them arise in ourselves and our everyday lives. Participants will then be given time to write and reflect about their experiences with a myth of their choice. Finally, they will discuss their experience identifying a myth and interrupting it in breakout groups of three.

In part two, participants will reflect on their influence in their existing familial and institutional relationships. Participants will draw a life map of their families, neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, or other organizations they are already a part of. They will then consider where racial harm is currently happening and where they have the most influence and resources to engage in reparative action. After completing their lifemaps and reflection, participants will discuss their maps with their trios. Participants will be prompted to consider possible areas in their lives where they can take a small next step.

We will come back together to reflect on the experience as a whole and offer pathways to stay engaged with our work.

Join the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences at The Ohio State University for an interactive 90-minute webinar that will change the way you think about racial healing and community building. In honor of the Kellogg Foundation's National Day of Racial Healing on January 21st, 2025, renowned facilitator Susan M. Glisson will share an overview of The Welcome Table™, a community building process she uses for racial healing, reckoning, and repair. Her innovative approach utilizes storytelling and deep listening to foster authentic relationships that create a safe space for acknowledging and reconciling past race-related wounds and facilitate effective collective efforts that transform communities.

Glisson has completed reconciliation projects using The Welcome Table™ in communities with some of the most well-known histories of racial violence and in more than 25 states throughout the U.S. This webinar will introduce several Welcome Table best practices and participants will leave with an awareness of the powerful role storytelling can play in repairing the damage caused by racism and building more equitable communities.

Speaker bio: As the founding executive director of the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation, Susan M. Glisson guided multiracial groups in grappling with hard history to create a better, shared future in some of Mississippi's most notorious sites of racial violence. With lessons from that work, she assembled The Welcome Table™ community building process, and has used it in over twenty-five states, including most recently in the first reconciliation conversations between the enslaved and enslaver descendants at Arlington House, most well-known as the plantation of Robert E. Lee. Glisson now leads the Welcome Table Collaborative, a network of committed bridge-builders devoted to creating welcoming, equitable, and prosperous communities. In August, she began a partnership with the Carter Center to help build a movement for healing, reckoning, and repair in the former eleven Confederate states. She is based at The BIG We, a non-profit in Memphis, TN.

The Equity Dialogues with Commissions on the National Day of Racial Healing event is set to be a profound gathering focused on fostering open, honest conversations about equity and healing from racial injustices. This event will bring together various commission groups to engage in meaningful discussions, share experiences, and collaboratively explore pathways to a more equitable society. Through these dialogues, participants will not only reflect on the impacts of racial inequities but also strategize actionable steps to promote healing and justice within their communities. By creating a space for genuine connection and understanding, this event aims to strengthen communal bonds and inspire collective action towards a more inclusive future.

With participation from over 65 students, faculty, staff, and administrators, we have collectively navigated our shared pain and challenging experiences. This journey has allowed us to listen to and truly see one another, leading to a more compassionate and open community. As we come together for this important day, we reaffirm our commitment to healing and understanding, paving the way for a more inclusive future.

Join the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) for the National Day of Racial Healing on Tuesday, January 21,2025 from 10am -2pm CT. This free online event will worship, workshops and panel discussions centering the voices and experiences of People of Color.

The event will be a community racial healing space for staff and families to act on Dr. King’s legacy of social justice and equity by participating in a community conversation about race.

I’m hoping to encourage everyone to read more and read to others aloud and interactively. I’m hoping reading helps improve understanding of all the different types of people and things on the planet 🌍.
