Even though the United States has had laws for 60 years to end race discrimination, racial barriers are still in place. The upcoming Race in Conversation is for those looking for a space and platform that helps them understand what we are dealing with and why, in this country, with principles of freedom and justice for all, we have not successfully ended racial discrimination. This problem is not on the shoulders of just individuals or individual institutions. It's on all of us, and we need a way of talking that we can offer language, tools, and understanding that lets us exercise our role as citizens to say what kind of country we want to live in. What to Expect: This interactive dialogue session is an engaging 1.5-hour session where you can share your thoughts, experiences, and observations. It's a platform to educate and engage with other participants from across the country in an interactive conversation. Skilled facilitators will guide the conversation, but your voice is crucial. You'll be talking through subjects that matter, shaping the dialogue with your experiences and insights. Race in Conversation: Why We Need a New Conversation Around Civil Rights will take place virtually on April 22 at 6:00 PM CT. Register here: bit.ly/4jlQpzB (fb)

"Thrilled and amazed" is how Dialogue on Race Louisiana President and CEO Maxine Crump described her response after her presentation to the Leadership Baton Rouge class of 2025. The presentation was the Dialogue on Race Historical Through Line, which is a pictorial slideshow that includes a history of race and its impact on society, including their own Baton Rouge Community then and now. A dialogue with the participants followed the presentation. It can be challenging, but the great news is that the Leadership Baton Rouge Class of 2025 enthusiastically engaged in conversation openly and honestly. They were amazed at the information they found revelatory about Baton Rouge, such as the Civil Rights activism in the community, especially the Boycott of 1953. They believe this legacy and others are assets that their city can proudly celebrate. Dialogue on Race Louisiana is always proud to facilitate events for organizations and the community in Baton Rouge and nationally!
