The City of Dallas’ Office of Equity and the Dallas Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT) organization is hosting a Black Lives Matter three-part series surrounding the topics of racial equity, justice and inequality.
This three-part virtual event will begin Thursday, June 25, 2020, 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
“This series of conversations will allow us to have a frank discussion about the history of racism and White privilege in Dallas,” said Council Member Casey Thomas.
This event will be moderated by TRHT Executive Director Jerry Hawkins, and includes four panelists: Council Member Casey Thomas, Community Advocate and Former Dallas Mavericks Player Rolando Blackman, Interim Equity Officer Dr. Lindsey Wilson, and Director of Regional Impact at Leadership for Educational Equity and the Co-Founder of Young Leaders Strong City, Amber Sims.
“The Office of Equity is looking forward to the much needed three-part community conversation in collaboration with Dallas Truth, Racial Healing, Transformation,” said Dr. Lindsey Wilson.
The Office of Equity understands that race continues to dictate outcomes for communities of color, and racial equity is critical to the public health and success of African Americans.
