About the Event
We are living in a time where division, fear and uncertainty are further ripping our divided Nation. We see our work at the Selma Center as a calling to respond to these times, to help us live into our identity as the United States of America, and to build the Beloved Community. To this end, we are excited about our upcoming Beyond Divide and Conquer: Unite and Build Racial Equity training.
