Racial Healing

Racial healing is at the heart of racial equity.

A core tenet of this work is racial healing. To heal means to restore to wholeness.

Racial healing is:

• the people work that leads to the transformation of systems;
• the telling of hard truths about past wrongs and present consequences;
• repairing the harm of racism;
• authentic relationship-building across real and perceived differences.

Anti-Racism is the practice of actively identifying and opposing racism. The goal of anti-racism is to actively change policies, behaviors, and beliefs that perpetuate racist ideas and actions. (Boston University Community Center)
