Justice in Action panel to discuss racism

The 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 Tuesday, Nov. 17, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Hargraves Center, 216 N. Roberson St.

This event is intended to help the community identify paths for racial healing and concrete strategies for reducing racism and prejudice. The program will include a panel discussion, a community dialogue session moderated by Dan Pollitt, Kenan professor of law emeritus at UNC, and a brainstorming session.

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.
