Virtual panel discussion on January 16 in recognition of National Day of Racial Healing 2024

CHICAGO — On Tuesday, January 16th, 2024, join the American Library Association (ALA) in recognizing and celebrating the eighth annual National Day of Racial Healing (NDRH). Originally launched in 2017 by the W.K. Kellog Foundation, NDRH is an opportunity to bring all people together to inspire collective action and reflection towards creating a more just and equitable world. The holiday is rooted in the work of the Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT) practices, with the clear understanding that racial healing is the core of racial equity.
