8th National Day of Racial Healing!

​by Renata Schiavo on behalf of Health Equity Initiative

Health Equity Initiative is proud to observe the 8th National Day of Racial Healing, which was started in 2017 by W.K Kellogg Foundation (WKFF) and its community partners. The day is a "time to contemplate our shared values and create our blueprint together on #HowWeHeal from the effects and racism1."

Launched in 2017, the National Day of Racial Healing stemmed from WKFF Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation (THRT) Enterprise, an approach to racial equity co-designed in partnership with 144 organizations2.   HEI is honored to be one of these initial 144 organizations.
