Contributors examine the importance of conversations about racism that need to occur between Black and White people. One author presents the Welcome Table, an initiative of the South Carolina Collaborative on Race. Leveraging research, the director of the Racial Justice Initiative at Georgetown University, describes conversations that promote shared understanding and improve health outcomes. Another author brings a community perspective to the Mississippi Urban League, by creating safe spaces to support authentic storytelling. A researcher at the University of Alabama at Birmingham shares strategies that focus on improving conversations within academia. Finally, an educational leader describes methods to promote authentic conversations on behalf of students in a large, diverse public school district. The chapter concludes with Rx Racial Healing Circles™, which is designed to foster human connections to heal the damage inflicted by racism.
