Full Description
Local governments in the Twin Cities are partnering to bring a community event to recognize the National Day of Racial Healing. Racism impacts all of us and we believe we need to create more safe spaces for our collective healing.
This year’s event will feature Dr. Anton Treuer, a professor of Ojibwe at Bemidji State University (BSU) and author of many books. Dr Treur is building an Ojibwe teacher training program at BSU and his equity, education and cultural work has put him on a path of service around the nation and the world.
This session will be held virtually, and is free to the community. For translation and interpretation please email [email protected].
About National Day of Racial Healing
The National Day of Racial Healing centers around experiences rooted in truth-telling, offering people, organizations and communities a day set aside for racial healing, bringing people together to take collective action for a more just and equitable world. It was started by the Kellogg Foundation in 2017 to bring the community together for conversations about how we heal from the effects of racism. This day is observed every year on the Tuesday after Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
