Sharing Our Stories
RWJBH recognizes that racism in the United States has existed for over four hundred years. One key way that we can seek to dismantle it is by sharing insights and finding common ground. To that end, we have instituted Equitable Encounters: Real talk about Race, created safe places for courageous conversations, and asked that we share our stories through oral and written expression. Hear what others have to say and share your own.
