With recent events in Charlottesville, Virginia, race has jumped to the forefront of people’s minds. But for some, the battle against racism has been going on for a long time. In this two part series, Helena White takes a closer look at a local organization addressing racism: The Institute for the Healing of Racism.

Twice a year, The Institute offers 10 week classes that guide participants through an “education of the mind and heart” regarding racism. In part two, Helena White interviews Tehmina Islam, a facilitator with The Institute.
