History of TRHT

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation launched the Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation movement to engage citizens in community-based racial healing and address inequities grounded in notions of a racial hierarchy. The work involves inclusive, community-based healing discussions and policy design to broaden understanding of diverse experiences and change the narrative.

The American Association of Colleges & Universities (AAC&U) joined the Kellogg Foundation’s effort to promote TRHT on college campuses. Ten institutions of higher education were selected for their first cohort of TRHT Campus Centers. Today, 71 institutions serve as host locations with the shared goal of erasing barriers to equal treatment and opportunity on campuses, in communities, and in the nation.

The AAC&U selected Adelphi and 12 other institutions of higher education to join its second cohort of TRHT Campus Centers in the United States. When Adelphi launched its TRHT Campus Center in March 2020, our academic community was prepared and eager to participate in the work needed to make sustainable change.
