In honor of Native American Heritage Month, Let’s Talk About Race is proud to present Land & Legacy.
Join us on November 26 in our Meeting Room for a constructive conversation, led by Truth 2 Power and Sandhill Band Lenape Tribal Members, on respecting and preserving their ancestral land in New Jersey.
Truth 2 Power seeks to strengthen our community relationships through constructive conversations related to film, leading to improvements in our lives and the bridges connecting us.
After screening two short films, conversation with SandHill Band Tribal Members will follow on how to respect their ancestral homeland in NJ.
