An intentionally multi-ethnic, experiential, and
a transformational journey where participants
learn together about our country’s
troubled racial history and the significant changes brought about by the Civil Rights
Movement.
“Sankofa” is a West African word that means “go back and get it."
By exploring and feeling our history's weight,
we can gain wisdom to
bring to our present context and accelerate racial harmony together.

Delving deep into the roots of our nation's racial past, the "History" emphasis allows participants to understand the origins of racial divisions. Through knowledge of past events, we create a foundation for fostering racial harmony today.
