Presented by The Clement A. Price Institute on Ethnicity, Culture, and the Modern Experience as part of our Dance Symposium Series.

We would like to invite you to join us and our featured speakers in discussion as we explore how dance and movement can move us from trauma to healing and the role of the mind and body in healing from racial trauma.
