DEI Round Table Discussion-TRHT
About this event
Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation
Building on the November Timely Topic presentation, our discussion will focus on the TRHT Framework and the upcoming National Day of Racial Healing. During the meeting, toolkits and resources from the National Day of Racial Healing will be shared. Think about how LWV-Wake can participate in the January 18, 2022 observance.
Background Information
Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) is a comprehensive, national and community-based process to plan for and bring about transformational and sustainable change, and to address the historic and contemporary effects of racism.
The effects of racism are evident in the social, economic and government policies all around us and the places in which we live, learn, work and play. People experience these effects when they take their children to school, when they apply for jobs, when they try to rent or buy a home, when they shop, when they interact with the police and more.
TRHT seeks to unearth and jettison the deeply held, and often unconscious, beliefs created by racism – the main one being the belief in a “hierarchy of human value.”
This absurd belief, which has fueled racism and conscious and unconscious bias throughout American culture, is the perception of inferiority or superiority based on race, physical characteristics or place of origin. It is when we value one person more than another based on skin color or other physical, superficial characteristics and let those values affect the decisions we make each day in areas like policymaking, in job decisions, in how we teach children – to name a few.
