The Social construct of “Race” has shaped Western society & the World. Many say, race has led to racism, violence, self hate, white supremacy, segregation, redlining, blockbusting, apartheid, miseducation, unfair labor practice, racial disparities, and more.

Let’s embrace our differences and celebrate what brings us together as the Human race. Don’t miss out on this educational opportunity for change and connect with others to foster a sense of community.
