Synopsis: This webinar will explore the history of racial injustices and trauma. It will look at the effects of injustices and trauma and their impact on oppressed and marginalized groups, mainly African Americans. It will challenge us to become a “voice” for ourselves while still being misjudged, mistreated, and misunderstood. It will discuss some ways to help us heal from the “pain of the past.”
