Boston's City Council recently completed an intensive 4-part interracial dialogue, one of several Community Dialogue sessions facilitated by YWCA Boston this spring.

Each dialogue session allowed Councilors and their staff members to reflect on their own experiences with racial and ethnic prejudice, learn about others' experiences, and consider strategies to address issues of race in Boston. After completing the last of the sessions, the councilors agreed that the experience was eye-opening and helpful to building stronger and more open relationships between the members.
