CityMatCH, a national membership organization in the UNMC Department of Pediatrics, has been awarded $249,917 to train urban maternal and child health leaders to engage in racial healing efforts.
The grant is one of 119 awarded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to support racial equity and healing.
It will allow CityMatCH to lead a historical mapping process in several Tennessee communities that outlines the impacts of race and racism on the structure of neighborhoods and communities.
The maps will help serve as a starting point for racial healing among participants, their institutions and communities.
