The University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work’s Center on Race and Social Problems held a meaningful gathering in recognition of the National Day of Racial Healing, championed by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation on January 20, 2026.
The theme for our program, Envisioning Just Futures, invited participants to engage in collective reflection and dialogue about the world we hope to build together. This theme also supports and celebrates the Envisioning A Just Pittsburgh Call for Art and Showcase, amplifying creative visions of justice and equity in our community.
The program featured opening remarks from Dr. Kyaien Conner, Director of the Center on Race and Social Problems, followed by an interactive reflection and dialogue activity designed to foster connection and shared vision.
