On the global UN Day for Anti-Racism, Birmingham Race Impact Group and The Philosophers’ Yard teamed up for an evening of discussion on what an anti-racist Birmingham could look like.
How might the city change for its residents, communities, and organisations and what challenges stand in the way of achieving this vision?
The event included small group conversations inspired by two expert speakers:
Ranjit Sondhi - Chair of Birmingham Race Impact Group and former Deputy Chair of the Commission for Racial Equality.
Joy Warmington - CEO of the equalities and human rights charity, BRAP.
The event began with live spoken word from Bilal Akram who performed the commissioned piece, titled ‘Hope’.
