The Dialogue on Race Education Issue Group: The Impact of Racial Trauma on Our Black Children
Our second Zoom event on October 22, 2020 was attended by more than 200 people.
This presentation from the Dialogue on Race Education issue group provides vital follow up to the August 2020 summer summit program, “Understanding Racial Trauma.” The issues raised were real, poignant, and require all of us to solve. Resources and opportunities to get involved are posted at the Dialogue on Race website.
