Along with so many other Americans, we’ve watched the unfolding tragedy of growing racial tension over these past few years with a feeling of powerlessness. There have been too many deaths and too few solutions; too many stilted blue ribbon commissions and too little deep thought and real conversation.

So we challenged ourselves to think of another way. Close your eyes and imagine what a post-racial America looks like. How do we spend our free time and with who? How do we see our differences and similarities? What do we do when a tragedy occurs?

Imagine if in times of crisis instead of separating into feuding digital tribes, we instinctively gathered – even when it’s difficult – with neighbors across color, creed and ideology. We’re calling what we’ve imagined Local Color, and we’d like to invite YOU to be a part of creating it right here in Tallahassee. We’re inviting you to be one of our Local Color Catalysts – to help us build something new. Find more information about the Local Color project here.
