Event Overview

From violent hate crimes to structural racism to genocidal campaigns, how do people and communities find a way to reconcile with horrific acts perpetrated against them, their families, their communities. The question takes on new urgency as hate crimes increase between racial and ethnic groups and often within the same racial groups.

Speakers will share their research as well as lived experience. All agree on several key components such as documenting and validating the traumas endured.
