THE VISION: Partners in Racial Justice in collaboration with Parent University and the Beach Institute African-American Cultural Center is pleased to announce the Great American Race Amity Initiative, launching in Savannah, Georgia.

Times are changing. More and more Americans are demanding equal justice for all, knowing that our welfare as individuals rests in the welfare of society at large. Long-standing structures of systemic racism abound on every front and as voices of truth are raised in yet greater measure, countervailing efforts to uphold the status quo continue to proliferate in new and more virulent form. Creating true change will require moving away from models fraught with contest for power and contentious argument. Rather, a different kind of movement is needed; one rooted in love, amity and accord and focused on transcending differences, harmonizing perspectives and promoting consultation in the mutual pursuit of
truth.
