National Day of Racial Healing

The National Day of Racial Healing–always held the Tuesday after Martin Luther King Jr. Day–centers around experiences rooted in truth-telling, offering people, organizations and communities a day set aside for racial healing, bringing people together to take collective action for a more just and equitable world. Everyone is invited to join the open mic readings of Dr. King’s writings Tuesday, Jan. 16, from 1 to 3 p.m. on Georgia College & State University's Front Campus. Russell Library will provide copies of books to read from, and some writings can be found online, as well. You’re welcome to select a passage written by Dr. King to read aloud. Pizza will be provided. The Circle Conversation afterward from 3 until 4:15 p.m. is also open to the community, for deeper reflection and discussion, in the Donahoo Lounge in Maxwell Student Union.
