In a nation marked by racial unrest and division, we are re-imagining a world where the legacies of slavery are history!
We provide the blueprint for transformation for communities committed to racial healing, reconciliation and justice. It is only fitting that we start at the root of our nation -- Jamestown, Williamsburg and Yorktown, Virginia.
Working collaboratively with community organizations from the government, business, non-profit, education and faith-based sectors, we create the infrastructure for safe and welcoming spaces where people can heal and thrive.

We are honored to be in community with the following organizations:
