National Day of Racial Healing: How We Heal
A Vibrant Celebration of Community Resilience in Kalamazoo
Kalamazoo is gearing up for a bold and inspiring community-wide celebration of the National Day of Racial Healing!
This year’s theme, "How We Heal," invites us to explore and elevate the transformative ways we foster racial healing across our community.
Over the course of five days from January 17th to January 21st, the city will come alive with opportunities to connect, reflect, and take action. Through interactive events, dynamic activities, and powerful conversations, we will amplify the voices, practices, and stories that drive racial healing.
The 5-Day Series: How We Heal
Aligned with the goals of the National Day of Racial Healing 2025, this transformative series offers daily opportunities to engage in healing and justice.
In Kalamazoo, we heal by…
- Reflection: Creating guided moments to pause, process, and deepen our understanding of personal and collective healing through activities like racial healing circles, reflective journaling, and sharing stories in safe spaces.
- Education: Engaging in workshops and dialogues that explore racial equity, community resilience, and actionable steps toward justice.
- Art: Using creative expressions like painting, poetry, dance, and performance as pathways to healing and transformation.
- Storytelling: Amplifying diverse narratives through activities honoring truth, resilience, and cultural richness.
- Connection: Building meaningful relationships through interactive events, including healing circles and community dialogues that foster empathy and unity.
