Humanity

As an agency and even as individuals, we often find ourselves fielding questions or having conversations about race. But, in truth, beyond that one measure, there are so many things that bind us. There is an infinite number of things that make us human and contribute to who we are. These shared values, ideals, ideologies, and traditions are where we find the most interesting cultural exchanges, and we are committed to unearthing that seldom covered ground and ensuring that we all get the justice, love, respect, and voice we deserve.

The Path to Racial Equity: Courageous Conversations
LESLIE WINGO \ MARK UPDEGROVE

This 6-part series on race, the role it plays in our society, and how to continue to build bridges between humans of all backgrounds, faiths, creeds, and colors is the result of a connection between our President and CEO Leslie Wingo, the LBJ Foundation’s Mark Updegrove, and a network of partner organizations dedicated to peace, education, and deep cultural understanding. The conversations are indeed courageous, powerful, and enlightening as participants speak, listen, and explore their vulnerabilities. As the name implies, connecting with one another on an expressly human level with honesty and intention is what moves us all forward.
