United Way Worldwide is partnering with a Howard University to host a community conversation to foster connections and promote racial healing. While we are inviting spiritual leaders to help guide the discussion, community residents and social justice advocates will also be invited. We are also facilitating exercises that will help to engage attendees and elevate awareness.
A Racial Healing Circle is a compassionate space of conversation and listening for people of all backgrounds to share their stories and experiences with racism and discrimination. Together let's learn from each other and reflect our common humanity. This circle is a series of the Bladensburg Social Equity Commons.
Each year during MLK Unity Week, we celebrate the National Day of Racial Healing by having a Unity Writing campaign sponsored by the Chief Diversity Officer and the Center of Excellence in Diversity and Student Inclusion at Duquesne University. Students, Faculty and Staff, have the opportunity write down what unity means to them and we place each sign on the designated Unity Wall outside of the Center and we keep everything posted until the end of Black History Month (February 28, 2024).

The Bridge Builder Initiative Tour was designed to expose Agriculture students from HBCUs to different farming experiences, primarily, Black farmers who own vineyards. Students learn the affects climate change has on various vineyards in different states other than southern states, and how they can apply their education knowledge to various crops. The Initiative also encourages students to aspire to become land owners and perhaps plant their own crops.
This event will allow a space for local hospitals and clinics to share their information with the community about their initiatives and how they are helping to improve the quality of care they provide to patients that eliminates racial inequities in maternal health outcomes.
