What is the National Day of Racial Healing? 'Healing is essential for racial equity' Opinion by Kristen DelGuzzi, USA TODAY • "I want to express how essential we believe racial healing is to truly achieving racial equity." This is a message La June Montgomery Tabron delivers with passion, conviction and years of results to bolster her beliefs. Tabron is the first woman and first Black president and CEO of the William K. Kellogg Foundation. Under her leadership, the foundation launched the National Day of Racial Healing in 2017 to build relationships and connect in meaningful ways, whether at school, at work, in neighborhoods, faith communities or homes.

The National Day of Racial Healing is a failure and always will be.

That is what you think. Now here is the purpose: January 17, 2023, marks the seventh annual National Day of Racial Healing. On this day, individuals, organizations and communities across the U.S. come together to explore their common humanity and build the relationships necessary to create a more just and equitable world.
On January 17 & 18, 2023, the National League of Cities will host a special two-day celebration in recognition of National Day of Racial Healing in Washington, DC. This event will explore how to reconcile the past and proactively promote healing and justice for all.
Racial healing is a tool and a process for celebrating our common humanity, acknowledging the truths from our shared history, and recognizing our collective potential. Through racial healing, we can forge deep, meaningful relationships, lay the groundwork to transform broken systems, and bridge the divides to transform communities for our children and future generations. Racial healing is not only important, but also essential. Because healing is at the heart of racial equity.
This convening will provide leaders with the essential tools needed to:
Understand the importance of acknowledging your city’s racial history.
Apologize to those who have been directly impacted.
Atone for the harm done.
Enact policies that will improve outcomes for all members of your community moving forward.

It's a failure because it's one-sided Ron. It's just a way for certain folks to vent and does nothing for the rest of us.

The annual National Day of Racial Healing is only a failure to nobody here on Black In America but you Steve.
"When we envisioned (in 2016) how we could support the actions of people inspired by Dr. King," Tabron said, "we envisioned thousands of people coming together. People who we know are in communities doing this work, and we envisioned supporting them to build communities where children thrive. And seven years later, now we are seeing millions of people come together all across our nation, and we are very excited that each year this movement has produced great outcomes for children and families."
Seven Years of Service and still moving forward.
Sorry Steve, but it seems that you are the LOSER, who has nothing positive to say about LIFE it's self.

Did you watch MSNBC's town hall on "racial healing" last night Ron? What do you think "racial healing" is Ron? Someone observed that you are going backwards and I agree.

Going backwards! To where Steve? The annual National Day of Racial Healing has been growing for seven years now, reaching millions. Now, I called that success and moving forward.

Ron, I think there was more promise for civil rights in 1964 than there has been since 2017.

..FIRST Americans should realize the BIA, Genesis Mrs. María de la Soledad Teresa O'Brien asked America
'Who Is Black in America?'
'Who Is White in America?'
'Who Is Red in America?'
'Who Is Yellow in America?'
..deaCON deacon STOPPING the racistDivisionism of COLOREDS is the ONLY thing we must work on..
On Tuesday after MLK day, I taught a 7th grade class...
..My students are of East African/Arab Semitic Immigrant ancestry.
100% of those East African students do not think they are USA classified 'black'!
100% of the Arab students do not thing they are USA classified 'brown or olive'!
..With Minnesota Demographics WITHIN 10 years Laws against COLORING people will be Voted upon...

Yes Ron, that is the work we must do. Stop backsliding into the same old rut.

YOU SAY: Stop backsliding into the same old rut.
QUESTION: What same old rut is that Steve? I know that you are not talking about our communications with Mr. Robert Powell are you?

Mr. Robert Powell, you asked:
FIRST Americans should realize the BIA, Genesis Mrs. María de la Soledad Teresa O'Brien asked America
'Who Is Black in America?'
'Who Is White in America?'
'Who Is Red in America?'
'Who Is Yellow in America?'
MY REPLY: We all are Americans Mr. Robert Powell, Black, White, Red and Yellow are people who comprise this great country we live in, called The United States of America and I am proud to have service this country with my life.

Ron, the same old rut is playing the victim. The slaves were freed post Civil War, and the downtrodden negroes were freed post Civil Rights Era. Y'all are free now, you are even permitted to be Republicans.

For instance Ron, do you really think there's a difference between "people of color" and "colored people"?

..Mrs. O'Brien wants to solve this divisionist COLORED'whiteBlackRedYellow' dilemma that olde RACISM Built in USA
..Mrs. O'Brien is not a white, not a black, not a brown or olive; BUT a Woman with American Citizenship...
..I am not a white, not a black, not a brown or olive; BUT a Man with American/world responsible Citizenship
..I am NOT a racialisticRacist like euro-christians that COLOR self..for tribal/forest/jungle division NONSENSE
..Anti COLORING of the Family of Adaam(as) is the Responsible/Original belief of AfricanAsian Monotheism

Great, Thank God, you have the freedom to make that choice Mr. Robert Powell.

Ron, there is no difference except that saying "colored people" is more forthright.

Then what color are colored people, Steve?

Apparently Ron, it means everyone who is not European. But I saw a program the other day on C-SPAN, a presentation by Dr. Fay Yarbrough, author of Choctaw Confederates, who when she said Colored People was referring to the slaves, as opposed to the Choctaws who were also slave holders. Dr. Yarbrough herself looks like her heritage may be native American but that's just a guess.
