Racial Equity and Healing

Jettisoning the deeply held, and often unconscious, belief in a hierarchy of human value

The Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) enterprise of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation is a comprehensive, national and community-based process to plan for and bring about transformational and sustainable change in our society, and to address the historic and contemporary effects of racism by unearthing and jettisoning the deeply held, and often unconscious, belief in a hierarchy of human value based on physical characteristics such as skin color and facial characteristics. People experience the effects of this hierarchy in their everyday lives—when they take their children to school, when they apply for jobs, when they try to rent or buy a home, when they shop, when they interact with the police and more.

In this webinar, a consultant to the TRHT enterprise, Michael Wenger:

• Examines the effects of racism in the social, economic and government policies all around us and in the places in which we live, learn, work and play,
• Discusses the origins and background of the TRHT,
• Shares the vision of the TRHT for the future of our society and the strategies it is utilizing to achieve this vision, and
• Explores what we must do—individually and collectively—to make this vision a reality.
