This week marks one year since the passing of our dear friend and mentor, Dr. William “Smitty” Smith, founder of the National Center for Race Amity.
As a testament to the legacy of his visionary leadership, NCRA is closing out this transitional year stronger than ever, with a new permanent headquarters in Atlanta’s historic Sweet Auburn district and a range of new partnerships and programs to move our nation toward its founding promise of unity and justice for all.
Make your annual gift today and be part of this impactful and transformative movement, so essential to the future of our nation. Thank you!
Your donation of any size is deeply appreciated and will help us to:
– Open the Race Amity Center in Atlanta’s historic Sweet Auburn district, and transition the UnityWorks teacher training program to it’s new permanent home as part of NCRA.
– Hold Race Amity Leadership Symposiums in Boston and Atlanta for leaders in business, education, nonprofits and other sectors.
– Sponsor the Riders for Race Amity, an interracial group of teens that will bike the route of the Freedom Riders from Washington DC to Montgomery AL in June 2026 to call attention to the power and importance of cross-racial friendships.
– Hold the fifth annual Boston Race Amity Arts and Music Festival on the last Saturday in July in Boston’s famed Faneuil Hall Marketplace, reaching tens of thousands of people with the message of unity and friendship across all lines of difference.
