 
Our point of view: "I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but the content of their character...." Martin Luther King, March on Washington Speech, 1963
Whether individual or institutional, emotional or ideological, there is simply no good reason for racism to still exist. Our institutions, religions and governments have evolved to the point where we no longer (officially) advocate racism. Now, we need to do three things: 1) Change the practices that support it, and 2) Undo the wrongs caused by it, and 3) Help defuse the emotions that keep it alive.
Racism is a socialized construct, shaped by a number of ideological, emotional and experiential influences. The Human Harmony Project is on the leading edge of practice-driven research that not only identifies the roots of racism, but also the levers that can be used to address it.
