RACISM: Continuing the Conversation
From the very beginning, The Connecticut Forum has confronted important, difficult and often controversial topics, including racism. Issues surrounding race and racism continue to challenge our communities and our nation, and The Connecticut Forum is committed to encouraging and supporting local discussion to continue the conversation.
Our Racism Forum on Dec. 3, 2015 began the community dialogue on a large scale; your discussions and community events, supported by CT Forum video clips, publicity and promotion, will keep the conversation going.

When:
The Racism: Continuing the Conversation campaign launches at The CT Forum’s Racism Forum on Dec. 3 and runs through February, 2016, though certainly conversations may continue throughout the year.
