About the event

The Colorism Project is organizing the 2024 Ronald E. Hall Conference on Colorism scheduled to take place virtually August 22-23, 2024. Our organization’s mission is to educate all members of society about the detrimental effects of colorism. The Colorism Project, Inc. aims to develop strategies to educate, enlighten, and address the psychological, emotional, physical, and social traumas of colorism and its impact on well-being. Our vision is that by educating people about colorism and its effects, we can embrace the diversity of all people and the unity of people of color. I am writing to invite your institution to be a supporter of this inaugural event!
