Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

WTIP's Racism Project will increase awareness about local history, specifically related to the experiences of people of color. Additionally, the series will increase the number of diverse voices in our community, while also honoring the contributions of BIPOC to the community through time. The series will serve our community by increasing the level of understanding, motivation and resources to become (hopefully more) anti-racist. It'll also serve as a basis to hold the community accountable for their actions - or lack thereof - moving forward.
