Global DiversityThe Justice in Action Committee invites residents to attend a discussion of “What Would It Take to Heal the Wounds of Racism in Chapel Hill?” The event will be held from 7 to 9 pm Tuesday, Nov. 17, at Hargraves Center, 216 N. Roberson St.

This event is intended to help our community identify paths for racial healing and concrete strategies for reducing racism and prejudice.

The mission of the Justice in Action Committee is to adequately and effectively reflect the Town of Chapel Hill’s integrity and commitment to preserving racial, economic, and social justice within the community. This is the third of a series of community events hosted by the Justice in Action Committee.
