We will explore how systemic racism creates unequal opportunities and outcomes in education, housing, healthcare, workplace, media, the criminal justice system, and AQUATICS. Most conversations will be in small groups. No matter how nervous you are to speak or uncertain your thoughts, this is the space for you.
