5 EYEWITNESS NEWS is launching a project called:

"Conversations about Racism and the Road to Equality."

It's a series designed to inform, illuminate and inspire. The goal is to allow Minnesotans the opportunity to better understand issues of racism and how we can all work together to move forward.

Brandi Powell's discussions with people across Minnesota will be candid and will include a wide variety of voices. The project will bring a new dimension, feel and humanity to the issues people are grappling with right now.



This segment will air during 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS Nightcast and will be available here on KSTP.com
