Join Austin Health Commons and the Greater Austin YMCA for a Juneteenth Truth Racial Healing Transformation
Powered by the YMCA
Saturday, June 17th at Townlake YMCA
Truth Racial Healing and Transformation (TRHT) Circles are an invitation to discover a deeper significance of our history, relationship, and connections so that we can better collaborate to address systemic and institutionalized racism. They offer:
● Better insight into the diversity of lived experience and unique challenges that certain communities face
● A brave space for cross-cultural truth-telling where individuals feel connected, respected and able to tell their story and hear others’ stories
● Deepened understanding of the impact of historical forces and trauma on our sense of self, our relationships, and our communities
Juneteenth has become the oldest celebration remembering the end of slavery in the United States. It marks the day that enslaved African Americans learned that they were free in Texas, on June 19, 1865.
