Facing Race: A National Conference is produced and presented by Race Forward.
Race Forward is a national non-profit organization that catalyzes movement building for racial justice. In partnership with communities, organizations, and sectors, Race Forward builds strategies to advance racial justice in our policies, institutions, and culture.
Since 1981, Race Forward has brought systemic analyses and innovative approaches to complex race issues.
