Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation Begins Now
Setup
What is racial healing? This conversation between NBC News correspondent Yamiche Alcindor and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s La June Montgomery Tabron highlights the growing impact of racial healing and explores how this practice is at the heart of our journey to racial equity. We’ll candidly discuss recent headlines — the killing of George Floyd and the energy it mobilized, the rise in hate crimes, and the horrific act of racialized violence in Buffalo — to speak the truth about past harms created by individual and systemic racism and to address their present-day consequences. Join us as we explore what’s happening across the country to advance equity through racial healing, replace destructive belief systems that fuel racism, and transform societal structures into ones that affirm the inherent value of all people.
