In January 2023, the Kroc Institute hosted an open and forthright conversation about the status of racism in the United States and how the pathways toward racial justice are impacted. As the year progressed, the country continued to witness and experience episodes and incidents of racial violence, racism denial, and attempts to wipe out Black and Brown peoples’ histories, experiences, and contributions.

Please join us for a panel discussion with distinguished guests who return for part two of the discussion – on how walking the walk toward true racial justice and justpeace involves addressing the myriad manifestations of racism with conviction with a resolve toward actions.
