We are in the business of improving lives in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. It is a daunting task because the Mid South is home to 30% of the nation’s poverty, which has eroded the well-being of our communities, education and health systems, as well as financial security. These deficiencies—if left unhindered—will continue to grow and deny further opportunities to better conditions for families today and future generations.
Led by the Foundation for the Mid South, Mississippi’s TRHT alliance works to bring people together, to bridge cultural divides, and work toward racial healing across the state. At the heart of the Mississippi Truth Racial Healing and Transformation (TRHT) Alliance is a commitment to building a state where everyone, regardless of race or ethnicity, has access to opportunities and are treated with dignity and respect.
Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) is a comprehensive, multi-year national and community-based process to bring about transformational and sustainable change. Through TRHT, partners address the historic and contemporary effects of racism in their communities and institutions. They work to replace the deeply held belief system that fuels racism with one that sees the inherent value of all people. This holistic approach addresses mind and heart, the interpersonal and systemic, and places the power of authentic, trust-based solidarity at the Center.
