The Town of Amherst’s Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Invites the public to participate in the National Day of Racial Healing on January 17, 2023.. For almost a decade the Kellogg Foundation has asked communities, schools, colleges, universities, businesses, and other organizations to participate in conversations designed to begin bridging the racial divide. On Tuesday, January 17, the DEI office will host an opportunity for community members to engage in racial healing conversations. Core Equity and CRESS members will facilitate small group conversations from 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m at the Amherst Survival Center. Bring your curiosity, and an open heart (childcare, beverages and snacks will be provided).
