Description
Beyond symbolic representation (DEI), comparative analysis (racial equity), and even righting the wrongs of racism (racial justice) is a commitment to honor, exalt, and celebrate Black folks by unabashedly positioning Black people to thrive: being pro-Black. Cornerstone CDC is a place-based, faith-led organization that has embarked on the journey of becoming a pro-Black organization by learning what it means to honor, celebrate, and believe in the richness of Black spaces while supporting community development in the West End/Visitation Park neighborhoods. Practitioners will share early lessons on becoming a pro-Black organization committed to healing-centered community development in a faith-inspired context. – Jeremy Moore, Ph.D., Monique Thomas
