About the National Day of Racial Healing

Observed annually on the Tuesday following Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the National Day of Racial Healing is a time to contemplate our shared values and create the blueprint together for how we heal from the effects of racism. Launched in 2017, it is an opportunity to bring ALL people together and inspire collective action to build common ground for a more just and equitable world. LEARN MORE
