Hosted By: School of Social Work Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion The University of Michigan School of Social Work Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is hosting The National Day of Racial Healing. Join us as we observe The National Day of Racial Healing (NDORH), a day dedicated to fostering understanding, truth-telling and collective action for racial healing and justice. Held annually on the Tuesday following Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, this event provides an opportunity for individuals, organizations and communities to come together in pursuit of a more just and equitable world. This year, we will explore the historical context of NDORH and engage in a powerful interactive experience: The 1,000 Cut Journey, developed by the Cogburn Research Group. Achieving racial justice requires a deeper understanding of racism and this immersive virtual reality (IVR) project allows participants to step into the “virtual shoes” of an avatar who encounters various forms of racism. By viscerally experiencing these moments, participants gain insights into the lived realities of racism and the urgent need for systemic change. We invite community members to join us in this transformative experience as we continue our commitment to racial healing and equity.
