2019 National Day of Racial Healing

Intergenerational Dialogue on Race and Racism in Our Communities

Race and Racism have been part of life in the United States since it was created nearly 250 years ago. However, the way racism works has changed over time as courageous people from all walks of life have come together to combat it. Join us for a National Day of Racial Healing dialogue to explore how experiences of race and Racism have changed over time, and what different generations can learn from each other to create more united communities. Adults of all generations and racial identities are welcomed to attend.

The dialogues are free to attend and are presented in partnership with California Conference for Equality and Justice (CCEJ).

Improving neighborhood conditions and fostering better building community relations is my passion. Prior to my retirement from the City of Long Beach I served as the Public Affairs Officer at the Long Beach Airport, created the City's Neighborhood Nuisance Abatement Program and served on numerous community boards and social action committees. Following my retirement, my husband and I relocated to Selma, Alabama and played a key role in hosting the Voting Rights Movement 50th Anniversary Celebration.
