  • #HowWeHeal

    To realize a society free of systemic injustice, we must come together to heal, exploring and unraveling the deeply held racial biases of the past – the biases that hold us back from unleashing our collective energy and potential.

    Join the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and friends accross the country on January 21, 2020 for the fourth annual National Day of Racial Healing!

    Tune in to the livestream at 9am and share using the hashtag #HowWeHeal.
