Hello from Dr. Kitty Oliver, Over the next few weeks, I will be presenting a number of Race and Change programs around Florida. Talking about race and ethnic relations in the U.S. in a hopeful way is a daunting task, for sure, but I am continually inspired by the wide range of people who are willing to at least attempt to engage in a deeper level of communication. This is truly an inclusive conversation for those who are ready, and in need of inspiration.  I invite you to attend one if you’re in the area. For Example:

A new branch of the venerable Association for the Study of African American Life and History has formed in South Florida and members are committed to exploring the complexities of race in America and strategies for combatting racism and discrimination not just in theory but also on a person-to-person level. ASALH WEBSITE
