Description

The story of the United States is shaped by conflicting truths- aspirations of liberty and equality alongside a history and present reality built on racism and exclusion. This course invites learners to engage those truths openly and honestly, exploring how racialized oppression continues to influence institutions, cultures, and everyday interactions. This ECHO emphasizes the courage and humility required to hold tension, listen deeply, and participate in honest dialogue about race and power. Learners will examine how systems and habits of dominance perpetuate racial inequity and how individuals and communities can build bridges through reflection and healing, open conversations, interracial connection, and cooperative action.
