Register now for Facing Race, a National Conference sponsored by the Applied Research Center.

From the thousands rallying for the Jena Six in Louisiana, to the outcry against the upsurge in nooses and hate crimes, to the protests against fatal police shootings, the continued struggle to recover on the Gulf Coast, and the fight for immigrants’ rights as raids rip apart families, our communities are working to change the rules so that privileges and punishments are not determined by the color of our skin.

This presidential election has created an opening for dialogue about racial justice that we haven’t seen in decades. Questions of racial justice dominate debates in academia, government and the media.

This is our moment. Critical Moments Require Critical Mass.

Facing Race is our chance to cut across the color line, claim this moving moment, and gather people of different races from across the country to discuss a myriad of issues and to outline a vision for the future of racial justice.

Advancing racial justice is not only an idea we share; it is a mission to define justice and make change.

Facing Race will explore the innovative strategies and successful models that have the power to make our racial justice moment into a reality. You can find out more about the schedule, speakers and even register here.
