The National Day of Racial Healing is an annual observance that takes place on the Tuesday following Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. It is an opportunity to bring ALL people together and inspire collective action to build common ground for a more just and equitable world.

As a part of this day, Peace Learning Center will be hosting a National Day of Racial Healing Luncheon and Resource Swap. This event is designed to allow attendees to build community with those that are different from themselves through conversation and listening to the lived experiences of others. Racial healing is at the core of racial equity, the vehicle that allows the collective to transform communities, organizations and systems.

Attendees are asked to contribute to the resource swap by bringing a resource that connects to their identity. Examples of resources include books (adult, young adult, or children's), articles, or podcasts. Participants will be invited to leave a resource for someone else to continue their learning and select another resource for themself. 

Join us for this unique community learning experience designed to move us away from divisiveness to a place of learning and respecting our differences as human beings.

A buffeted lunch will be served during the event featuring: Grilled Chicken Breast - Multigrain Seasoned Rice - Grilled Mixed Vegetables - Side Salad with Dressing - Dinner Rolls
