Rob Corcoran, national director of Initiatives of Change and founder of
Hope in the Cities, will discuss and sign Trustbuilding: An Honest
Conversation on Race, Reconciliation, and Responsibility, his visionary
and compelling book. At its center is the story of how Richmond,
Virginia, a former slave market and capital of the Confederacy, has
become a seedbed for interracial dialogue and trustbuilding with
national and international implications. City and county residents of
all backgrounds launched an unprecedented and sustained effort to
address the "toxic issue of race." Known as Hope in the Cities, this
endeavor is now in its second decade of work. Trustbuilding is
unflinchingly honest about the difficulties of mobilizing communities
around racial reconciliation. Former Virginia Governor Tim Kaine will
speak at this national book launching event. Music will be provided by
One Voice. A reception will follow the event

The event is free and open to the public.
