Race and racism have played a divisive and defining role throughout
much of America's history. Slavery, Jim Crow laws, segregation, and
Ku Klux Klan terrorism have inflicted deep psychic wounds, social
disparities, and economic disadvantages that have diminished the
promise of equal rights and opportunities for all. While much
progress in race relations has been made in recent years_including
the election of Barack Obama as President of the United State_it's
clear that our journey to a post-racial era is far from complete.
In virtually every measurable category, whether income levels, job
opportunities, access to health care, life expectancy, high school
diplomas, incarceration rates, do not fare well compared to their
white counterparts. The dialogue entitled Race and Reconciliation
in America was convened to provide a forum for a long overdue,
open, honest, and constructive discussion among people of good will
about the need for the American people to truly grasp the depth of
past misdeeds, why the legacies of past oppression persist, and how
we can achieve a more fair and just society embodied in the
American Dream.
