We continue to do the planning on "Action Conversations on Race" in the Saint Louis area, including responses to the Ferguson commission report.
Racial Justice
Racial Justice Programming
Racial justice is about changing systems of existing power, plagued with and built upon prejudice. We understand that racism itself is a false social construct used to dehumanize and hold back certain members of the human race...our global family. IPJ addresses and educates on this important issue in several ways.
Action Conversations on Race

Workshops/Talks
IPJ has for many years conducted workshops and dialogue sessions on identifying and addressing the many personal, community, and institutional problems that come along with living in a society still permeated with a shameful and often unrealized past and present legacy of racism.
Our programs can be geared towards different audiences.
