Conversation GuideThis guide can help you begin to have a conversation, despite very real challenges. Recognizing that talking about racism can be challenging; your goals should be to commit to creating a safe space for people to be authentic and vulnerable, and to pave the way for future conversations.
The National Day of Racial Healing is a time to contemplate our shared values and create the blueprint together for #HowWeHeal from the effects of racism. Launched on Jan. 17, 2017, it is an opportunity to bring ALL people together in their common humanity and inspire collective action to create a more just and equitable world.

Tuesday, Jan 21 2025

Free; Reservation Required
Join us to help welcome Jane Elliott, internationally known teacher, lecturer, diversity trainer, to mark the National Day of Racial Healing as a time "to contemplate our shared values and create the blueprint for #HowWeHeal from the effects of racism."
The National Day of Racial Healing originated in 2017 under W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation efforts, which serves as a community and national-based- process to determine and bring about transformational and sustainable change in addition to talking about the historical and contemporary effects of racism in U.S. society.
Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT) is a nationally recognized, community-based initiative for racial justice. Dominican was named a TRHT Campus Center in 2020 by the AAC&U.
2:30 pm-4 pm Racial Healing Circles
As part of the day, we will offer Rx Racial Healing Circles in person and virtually.
They are an experiential process by which, through story-telling and deep listening, we can engage with perceived others to build trust and deepen relationships, enabling self-reflection and acknowledgment of one’s previously unquestioned assumptions and biases.
Sign up through Reservation link above.
