Hope in the Cities, promotes honest conversations on race, reconciliation and responsibility. Its goal is the creation of just and inclusive communities by building trust and encouraging collaboration among diverse groups.
A program of Initiatives of Change, Hope in the Cities was launched in the United States in 1990 to respond to the need for racial healing in Richmond, Virginia. It has expanded to other cities and countries by providing a framework to connect communities across tradtional barriers. Its model of honest conversation incorporates three vital steps: dialogue with people of all backgrounds and viewpoints, personal change as a foundation for institutional transformation, and intentional acts of reconciliation.
