Colorful Flags Breaking Down Ethnic Mistrust
Mission Statement
Colorful Flags builds healthy race relations by conducting training workshops on social justice and cultural competency. Our module examines cultural identities, explicit and implicit bias, the power of language, and systemic racism. The workshops give participants the practical tools to hold themselves and others accountable for racially biased behavior. Colorful Flags inspires participants to embrace the South African concept of Ubuntu, which means humanity: "I am because we are."
