The 12 News documentary "The Work is Hard and Not Done: Being Black in the Valley" shows the history of race relations, the progress that has been made and discusses where society needs to go in order to continue moving forward.

Please join us for another open conversation about race, Tuesday, 9/8/2020, 6:30–7:45pm. These conversations are a safe and thoughtful space where you and others in the synod can wrestle with questions and talk with each other. Learn more at gcsynod.org/open-talks.
