KOINONIA School of Race & Justice

Ours is a time of complex and tragic issues on the racial and social justice landscape. From the continued murder of young black men at the hands of white police officers, to the rise of Asian hate crimes in the wake of Covid-19, to the enduring challenges of structural racism in the City of Richmond going back before the American Civil War, many of us are feeling suffocated and starving for a more just and benevolent civil society. 

And yet, because so many of the issues with which we wrestle are so personal, so intimate, it can be a challenge to be open, honest, and vulnerable with one another as we seek to confront injustice. How can we find the words and tools to develop and co-create a culture of trust in which we can express our full selves without fear of judgment? How may we dare to share when we might feel silenced? How can we engage one another when our social and political divisions are more divided than ever?
