What’s Race Got To Do With It?

Have you scratched your head about the protests about race occurring nationwide, or wondered why others just don’t understand the complaints? Have you pondered how to discuss race within and across racial groups? Have you wondered whether – or even how – government should get involved? If any of these questions have crossed your mind, participate in this interactive and intimate session. Participants will get an opportunity to talk about race, public policy and equitable government.
