Community foundations collaborate on virtual event as part of the National Day of Racial Healing
Listen to this articleRochester Area Community Foundation, in partnership with three other community foundations in New York, is hosting a free virtual event on from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Jan. 17, that will feature author and public policy expert Heather McGhee as part of the National Day of Racial Healing.
McGhee’s bestseller, “The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together,” is a look at the true cost of racism — not just for people of color but for everyone.
An influential voice in the media and an NBC contributor, McGhee regularly appears on several news programs.
The National Day of Racial Healing was started in 2017 by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation to bring people together to explore how past actions have created racial inequities in our systems.
The event is a collaboration between Rochester Area Community Foundation, Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo, Central New York Community Foundation based in Syracuse and Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region in Albany.
