Do racial differences matter? Beyond skin color, are there differences? Why do disparities exist? Who or what causes them? Many questions about race persist; ignoring them won't foster understanding. We invite St. Louisans to join us for a conversation about race, drawing on the news of the day for inspiration. We're aiming for a safe forum where you are free to be candid, but required to be civil. If you seek understanding, education and tolerance, we welcome you.
