AAC&U is partnering with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) effort to help communities embrace racial healing and uproot conscious and unconscious beliefs in the hierarchy of human value.
The TRHT effort prioritizes inclusive, community-based healing activities and policy designs that seek to change collective community narratives and broaden the understanding that Americans have of their diverse experiences.
You can access the W.K. Kellogg Foundation's Racial Equity Resource Guide that provides resources organized for the TRHT effort here.
This video closed a national TRHT Summit of more than 550 from across the U.S. held in December 2016. The first action emerging from the summit was the call for a National Day of Racial Healing on Jan. 17, 2017.
AAC&U is pleased to share statements and letters from several college and university leaders in response to events regarding issues of racial and social justice. We hope these resources will be helpful as you craft your own responses to these important issues. We invite leaders at member campuses to share their own statements by emailing [email protected].
