The 2019 Faith Summit is co-hosted by Episcopalians United Against Racism (EUAR) and End Poverty Durham. This all-day, interfaith event will include local and national speakers, agencies, and community organizers working in the field, breakout sessions, collaborative planning, and future engagement opportunities.
Structural racism is considered to be a “system in which public policies, institutional practices, cultural representations, and other norms work in various, often-reinforcing ways to perpetuate racial group inequity.” Quantifying and identifying such a large problem with multiple components including historical and cultural reasons can be challenging but is a necessary step to end and ameliorate inequity.
