NDORH-AR 2023 Virtual Racial Healing Devotional & Discussion

January 22 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

The struggles and repercussions of discrimination, of prejudice, and of racism loom large in American society. Is racism actually a moral and even spiritual disease that needs to go beyond changing laws and reforming institutions? Does the cure to finally eradicate it also demand profound changes in how we think and see each other, ultimately requiring a transformation of hearts? So, what else is called for? Humanity is not a collection of laws or social regulations. Rather, we are defined by our common nobility as spiritual beings. While finding strength in our “unity in diversity”, might recognition of our essential oneness help bring about the transformation of human hearts that no change in law could ever achieve on its own? Now is the time for people of all colors to reflect on the need for racial healing in our nation and in our communities.

ABOUT THE NATIONAL DAY OF RACIAL HEALING:

The National Day of Racial Healing is a time to contemplate our shared values and create the blueprint together for #HowWeHeal from the effects of racism. Launched on Jan. 17, 2017, it is an opportunity to bring ALL people together in their common humanity and inspire collective action to create a more just and equitable world.

This annual observance is hosted by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation (WKKF) and was created with and builds on the work and learnings of the Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) community partners. Fundamental to this day is a clear understanding that racial healing is at the core of racial equity. This day is observed every year on the Tuesday following Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
