The Dialogue on Race is a project sponsored by the city of Charlottesville that is designed to help improve race relations in the community.
Outcomes
After the initial phase of discussions, four workgroups were created to come up with action steps. One of the possibilities is to find ways to boost tourism in the area by drawing attention to how the city's black community helped overcome discrimination in the public school system. One possibility could also be to develop mobile phone applications to help tell the story of individual buildings[1]
