The activities described in this book can inspire and guide those leading change. AAC&U deserves kudos for this project."Michael Wenger, Senior Fellow, American Association of Colleges & Universities“TRHT Campus Centers draw on the catalytic power of young, committed leaders who know that racial equity and justice will evolve through human connection, visionary courage and people of diverse backgrounds working side-by-side in common cause. Aided by professors and mentors, students across the country demonstrate that racial healing advances knowledge and empathy. The stories shared in this volume reaffirm my confidence that the next generation is picking up the baton of racial equity work with extraordinarily capable hands.”La June Montgomery Tabron, President & CEO, W.
