racial healing

Bridging ethnic divides

Racial healing refers to processes aimed at repairing relationships and trust between racial groups, particularly after historical injustice or ongoing discrimination.

The term encompasses dialogue, acknowledgment of harm, and reconciliation efforts: The community forum was part of a broader racial healing initiative.

Critics sometimes dismiss it as vague or performative when divorced from concrete policy change.
