How We Heal: Richmond

Richmond, Virginia, is one of the places working on Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation with support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.

As a city steeped in confederate past, TRHT Richmond is using its history as a meeting place for understanding each other and using the arts to unearth the past and envision a new future together for all people. How can we, using art as a vehicle for connection, communicate our stories and histories to foster understanding and heal?

About Racial Healing: Racial healing is a process that restores individuals and communities to wholeness, repairs the damage caused by racism and transforms societal structures into ones that affirm the inherent value of all people. It makes it possible to acknowledge and speak the truth about past wrongs created by individual and systemic racism, and to address present-day consequences for people, communities, and institutions.
