Racism ~ Self Segretation
Ignorance ~ Racial Tension
These are the issues
which have
brought
us
together
to
discuss our
shared concern over
the state of race relations
both in the
UVA community
and society at large.
Sustained Dialogue at the University of Virginia serves as a catalyst for bringing together different types of people and opening lines of communication between racial groups. Community members engage in the process of "Sustained Dialogue" orignally created by U.S. diplomat
Harold H. Saunders. Over the course of a year, you and your Sustained Dialogue group will address strained community relationships and build the capacity between group members to formulate action and improve them.
