Where are we now?

How did we get here?

Where do we go from here?

Those are a few of the questions for a community conversation this weekend, hosted by the Chattanooga Racial Equity Collective - titled: “A Racial Reckoning in Retrospect.”

The free event - open to the public - is Saturday, starting at 6 PM, at the Horton-Keller Center for Traumatic Healing at 2800 N. Chamberlain Ave.

Donivan Brown of the Horton-Keller Center and Lakweshia Ewing are members of the Collective.
