10th National Day of Racial Healing!

by Paige Hammond on behalf of Health Equity Initiative

“You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.” - Indira Gandhi

Please join us in observing the 10th National Day of Racial Healing. Health Equity Initiative has been a proud participant since the day’s inception in 2017. On this day, we encourage each other to have conversations about racial healing, racial equity and justice (1) while speaking openly and listening closely to our peers. 
​
Below, you will find resources related to racial healing and equity that may help to guide you through your conversations.
