The Present-Day Reality

We aim to illuminate the present-day realities of systemic racism which includes the traumatic effects, legacy, and continued impact of slavery, Jim Crow laws, segregation, and the ways they contribute to the oppression of Black Americans and privilege of White Americans

We must come to terms with our community’s racial history.  We believe that it is necessary to engage in a community-based process in order to create a shared community vision of what is possible and how we collectively work toward ending structural racist policies.
