National Day of Racial Healing

January 17, 2023

Have you heard about the National Day of Racial Healing?

This annual event hosted by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation was created with and builds on the work and learnings of the Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) community partners. It is observed every year on the Tuesday following Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Community groups, organizations, and businesses all over the nation are participating by hosting gatherings, activities, and conversations.

What is racial healing and why does it matter?
Racial healing is a process that restores individuals and communities to wholeness, repairs the damage caused by racism and transforms societal structures into ones that affirm the inherent value of all people. It can facilitate trust and build authentic relationships that bridge divides created by real and perceived differences. Before you can transform systems and structures, you must start with people first.
