With the world in the state of crisis, this conference provides a sense of hope of change and moving in the right direction. When asked what one can gain by attending this conference, Harvey stated, “what it does is move us from courageous conversations into meaningful new choices, new decision, new actions." Larry added, “another thing you will experience and can expect is a level setting of minds. People are confused, exhausted and experiencing unrest. We’re creating openness and healthy dialogue, but not for the sake of conversation, this is to bring about serious change and set the steps to take action for that change to occur." When discussing the mix of speakers for the forum, Larry stated, “having black and white voices is a positive things because it’s the breathing example of having conversations with each other, instead of saying we need to change, we are coming together as a collective voice and created solutions to the change.” Larry added, “it’s an awakening for all of us, we are living out the work and we are encouraging others.” To become apart of the Racial Equity Forum, you can go to racialequityforum.com for more information and to be apart of the forum.
