What You Can Do

There are a number of things each of us can do to acknowledge and begin healing the racial scars most American communities possess.

• Explore, research, and learn about your own community's racial history.


• If you have documentation or have done research that might add to this website please share it with us. We will gladly post it for others to see.


• Work to have the lives lost in your own community acknowledged.


• Approach local school systems and educators about teaching our local and national racial histories honestly and accurately. Lets work together to tell an honest, accurate, inclusive U.S. history.


• Start or attend a local racial reconciliation effort in your community.


• Start a dialogue in your places of employment, schools, civic organizations, and churches about race and and our racial history


• When racial incidents occur in your community get involved. Attend events, listen, ask questions, hold local officials accountable, be willing to learn, and take a stand.
