This program helps participants understand our collective history of racism and violence, that we might seek real restoration with God and one another. This program explains the historical context behind the wide racial inequalities we face today. Though this program focuses specifically on African slaves and their descendants, this program will open participants’ eyes to patterns of injustice that affect other people of color across the nation as well.
